While Cooper may not seem as in touch with his emotions on the surface, the Olympic Games and the “triumphs of human achievement” that accompany the events bring him to tears more often than chopping onions (FYI-he chops onions less than once every 4 years).

Always game to grab a meal or a cup of coffee with his clients, Cooper would prefer every meal be served at Cracker Barrel (where he celebrated his 29^th birthday) and every plate be covered with French Toast. He claims, “The true quality of a breakfast location is measured in French Toast. You don’t know what you’re getting otherwise.”

His palate may be closer to the preferences of his four children than his wife’s, but the balance of his curiosity for new things and likeness towards beige meal plans has complemented how Cooper is able to guide his clients through the ups and downs of planning for their financial future.

There’s not one person that Cooper doesn’t find fascinating. Whether it’s how they think about money, what hobbies they have, or what wakes them up every day—it all adds to the framework of how he introduces financial strategies so his clients can affect the world for change.

The Olympics may be a sporting event that brings out all Coop’s feels, but he maintains that Rodeos are the most entertaining sporting events in the world. If he could do it all again, a rodeo clown would have been the chosen profession. But for now he plans to keep finances entertaining to everyone he meets.
