Cooper enlisted in June of 2017, as an Aerospace Ground Equipment Maintainer in the Kansas Air National Guard, and has been promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant. During this time, Cooper sought a way to align his interest in business with his passion for connecting with people on a deeper level. He discovered a harmonious intersection between these seemingly disparate interests as he recognized the profound impact that financial planning could have on individuals’ lives and futures. Using his benefits from the National Guard, Cooper graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Personal Financial Planning, accompanied by a minor in Business and Agricultural Economics from Kansas State University in May 2023. Here, he honed his analytical skills and expanded his knowledge base, laying the foundation for a career dedicated to empowering others through sound financial guidance.
