McAsey is from Hāwera with much of his extended family still living in that part of Taranaki.[2] At the 1995 World Rowing Championships in Tampere, Finland, McAsey won a silver medal in the coxed four, with Chris White, Andrew Matheson, Murdoch Dryden, and Michael Whittaker as cox.[3][4]
He later switched to sailing, joining Team New Zealand as a grinder for their 2003, 2007 and 2013 America's Cup campaigns.[5] He worked as a truck driver after the 2013 America's Cup.[6]
