Kassie grew up in a small town in the mountains of Southern California. She has always enjoyed having the National Forest as her backyard, taking advantage of sunny days on the lake and snowy days by the fireplace. She started modeling in late 2009 when fellow Rim of the World High School alumni and upcoming Playmate, Heather Rae Young (Miss Feb 2010) asked if she was interested in posing for Playboy. After a few photo shoots, she was named Miss May 2010!
