Cooper grew up in Northwest Montana, but went to highschool in the Treasure Valley. In the off season, Cooper attends the College of Idaho where he is majoring in Political Economy and competes in cross country and track and field. When lectures get boring, Cooper daydreams about being outside hiking, fishing, and backpacking. When he’s not outside, Cooper likes watching new movies and reading. Maybe one day he’ll even write. Even though he loves living in the Pacific Northwest, Cooper will take any opportunity to travel, some of his favorite places he’s been include Boston, Massachusetts and Barcelona in Spain. This will be his first year working at Cascade Raft and Kayak, where he hopes to develop his photography skills and have some good stories to tell by the end of the summer.
