Causey was born in Manassas, Virginia. He attended the University of Virginia where he played on the men's soccer team from 1990 to 1993. He was a member of the Cavaliers teams which won the 1991, 1992, and 1993 NCAA Championships, taking Tournament Defensive MVP in 1991. He was a 1993 third team All American, graduating that year with a bachelor's degree in history. He holds the school record for 88 saves in the 1990 season and is tied for third with 10 shutouts that season.

In 1994, Causey signed with the Boston Storm of the USISL. In 1994, he moved to the Richmond Kickers, winning the 1995 USISL Championship and US Open Cup Championship.

On February 6, 1996, the Kansas City Wiz selected Causey in the 5th round (46th overall) in the 1996 MLS Inaugural Player Draft. The team then traded him to D.C. United in exchange for Garth Lagerway and the first overall pick in the 1996 MLS College Draft. Causey played nineteen games with United in 1996 as the team won both the MLS Cup and Open Cup. He began the year with United, but was waived on June 27, 1997.

In the 2000 New England Revolution season Causey led the team in games in goal (22). He would again lead the team in 2001.
