Cooper received his call to ministry while serving as a camp counselor at a Catholic summer camp during his college years.  It was at camp where God ignited his love for music and knowledge of ministry and started Cooper on a journey of drawing youth and adults to know and live the Gospel.  After 6 summers, he transitioned into diocesan ministry in Baton Rouge where he spent 10 years, 7 as the director of youth ministry.  Soon after arriving in Baton Rouge, Cooper's speaking ministry took off and slowly, but surely schools, parishes, and other dioceses began to invite Cooper to share his stories, music, and life experiences.  After 16 years in formal ministry, he started the next phase in his journey answering the call to go "on the road" full-time where he has been ever since.  Cooper has been a contemporary music liturgy director at a his parish for the past 7 years and just released his first solo album, "Wake the Dawn".  He was a contributing writer for Josh Blakesley's "Our God is Good" and was featured on Steve Angrisano's LIVE CD.  He holds a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Pastoral Studies.

Cooper lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with his wife Laura.
