Before his current role, Cooper worked as a Specialist Engineer for Makino Inc., where he handled design creation and programming. Outside of work, Cooper enjoys playing volleyball and reading books, and a fun fact about him is that he loves doing accents. As a leader, he aims to create an environment where people can learn, grow, and better themselves without judgment. He believes that meaningful improvement is built through consistent daily progress, leading by the example that success doesn’t always come in miles, but often in inches. This philosophy is reflected in one of his favorite quotes: “We must all suffer one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” — Jim Rohn
