hi! I'm cooper :)

I’m a web developer and mixed media artist. I have an M.A. in Journalism and Public Affairs from American University, a B.A. in English from Rollins College, and a professional certificate in Full-Stack Development from MIT.

While at Rollins, I won the Theater Scholar Award for my first show, Temporal. Four years later, I followed up with Atemporal, debuting at Capital Fringe in July 2022. I have also performed with Story District at the Kennedy Center in DC, and off-broadway at Joe’s Pub in New York City with Generation Women.

My art has been featured in collections at DuPont Underground, the Eaton Hotel, and As You Are. Originally from Central Florida, I now live in Northeast Washington, D.C. with my wife, our two cats (Elphie and Murphy), and our puppy (Harvey).

Fun facts about me!

I'm a professional comic book grader.
The coolest book I've ever graded was X-Men #1. It was in "very good" (a 4.5 on the 10-point scale) condition.
