Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
I was born and raised in Fairfield, Texas.
My father-in-law, Tim Cooper, started Cooper Farms on five acres of land in 1983 as a hobby.
I became interested in farming at 16 years old and started working in the orchards for Tim Cooper, my high school girlfriend’s father.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in horticulture with an emphasis in fruit production from Texas A&M University.
I married my girlfriend and together we continued to work the farm and the country store.
We’ve since taken over the farm and hope to give our kids the same experience as they grow up.
