I will always love nature, but my goal since my mid-teens was to move to NYC for all the cultures and excitement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The tech project I&#8217;ve most enjoyed working on at UncommonGoods (so far)&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I got here a little over a decade ago, the tools for other departments to control data and process were severely lacking.  I created an internal administration site from scratch to greatly increase company efficiency and automation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m inspired by&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nPeople that make the world a better place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite place to visit in New York City is&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nAll the parks, particularly Central Park and Brooklyn Botanical Garden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An uncommon fact about me&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nI love to travel the world.  After growing up without much money, I&#8217;ve been to 30+ countries since I graduated college.  Early on, I used any extra money I had to pay off student loans and visit other cultures.  Scandinavia, Switzerland, Spain, Korea, Japan, and Costa Rica have been my favorites and I have been on repeated trips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When I&#8217;m not working, I&#8217;m probably&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nPlaying with my two year old girl and hanging out with the wife, reading history and philosophy; watching great comedy, adventure or documentary films; or listening to music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The words that best describe me&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;Adventurous Scientist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working at UncommonGoods, I&#8217;ve learned&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nThat people are the most important part of life and business. That I&#8217;m not as smart as I thought I was and I can learn from people from all walks of life.  Spending time with people from every department made me realize that, and I truly appreciate the experience at UncommonGoods; it&#8217;s a great group of people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you rather &#8230;travel the world alone or travel the US with your family?<\/strong><br \/>\nI can&#8217;t imagine someone would choose alone if they have a wife and kid : )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Technology Officer Casey McCarthy travels the world, loves the great outdoors, and considers himself an &#8220;adventurous scientist.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":28239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[1170,1094,1172],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28195"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
