Born in Voorhees, NJ, the second child of Patrick and Lee McFadden, he was raised in Virginia Beach, VA and then moved to New Jersey in 2008.

Corey was a voracious reader, interested in a variety of subjects such as religion, history, politics, economics, film, writing and music. He was also an avid photographer who had the ability to capture everyday subjects in a unique perspective. Corey was a lifelong runner, starting in elementary school running in local races as a member of the Tidewater Striders. He went on to run track & field and cross country for Ocean Lakes High School, qualifying for the Virginia State Cross Country Championship Meet three years in a row. He also participated in the Foot Locker Regional Cross Country Championship Meet in both his junior and senior years. After moving to New Jersey, Corey continued racing with his uncle and his father, winning the inaugural Vegan Food Festival Boardwalk 10K in 2018.
