About Casey J. Cornelius

Founder and President of ForCollegeForLife, Casey J. Cornelius has been a leading national voice on the topics of healthy masculinity and personal development for more than a decade. He travels the country, both physically and virtually, to work with campuses and organizations who aim toward the extraordinary. Casey is not interested in average! Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio Casey is a first-generation college graduate holding a Bachelor’s and two Master’s degrees despite once being advised “college isn’t for everyone.” He is a proud fraternity man, a member of his chapter’s Hall of Fame at the University of Toledo, and the creator of The Cornelius Scholarship for First-Generation Students. He has been recognized with national and international awards for educational content development and delivery and as a “Spokes-Mo” (their word, not his) for his work with the Movember Foundation. Fun fact: Casey is also a person of great contradiction. A lifelong fan of summer and long walks on the beach, he now resides with his wife, daughter, and parents in Michigan. His proudest titles are son, husband, and father.
