Let start with your clan name?
Cooper
Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game?
A couple of decades ago I was known by some I worked with as "Smoothy", but not anymore.
When and where were you born?
Before 1960, on the Oregon coast
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A policeman. Made it too, but not anymore...
Where have you lived?
No place exciting. A few places between San Bernardo, Ca. Vancouver, Wa.
Many years growing up mostly in Eugene, Or.
What got you into gaming?
Intereested in computers, what they could do.
Your first game you played?
Aside from my own adventure program on the Commodore 64, one of the first was Doom in the early 90's
And what do you play now?
COD Modern Warfare
Why did you join XI?
It was a fun group, so when Penguin asked me if I'd like to, I was all over it...
What do you get from being in this clan?
It gives me a little sense of "family". I don't get in near as often as I'd like, but I'm working on it.
What is your favorite hobby?
I am headed towards archery. There's a "club" nearby with an affordable membership.
I had a recurve bow when I was young. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
What is your favorite travel destination?
At this time, to my granddaughters in southern England.
Are you married?
Yeppers...
Do you have children?
Yeppers...
What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names?
Emme is a 21 year old house cat. She's a pretty longhair calico.
Chuff is a couple of years old now. Another cat, British short-hair.
Lastly Gracie, another British short-hair, and a munchkin at that.
Are you a sports fan? If so, what is your favorite team?
Nope, not since the early 80's when both baseball and football players went on strike.
What causes are you passionate about?
Not sure how to answer this one.
Do you volunteer? If so, where?
no
What is an interesting fact about you?
I am an inventor. I like that one. Made a safer tool for flatbed truckers than what has been the standard for decades.
Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind?
I've loved working with people. Law enforcement provided great opportunity for that, in a good way.
I've taken mediation courses, counseling courses. I am not working in this field, but have great opportunity to help people with issues many times.
Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college?
I was a Math/Computer Science major. On that note yes. I did not complete my degree though. Family issues...
Did you belong to any professional organizations?
no
What is your current job title?
I am a "Professional Truck Driver"....yay (I do love driving)
Did you win any awards or recognitions during your education?
no
Where do you work?
West coast, out of Portland Oregon
What other job titles have you had in your career?
Oh man...janitor, self service gas station manager, retail management, Frito Lay potato chip route, Wonder Bread/Hostess route, (both of those were stocking shelves, reordering, blah blah blah)
Insurance rep, Power line Specialist, green chain puller at lumber mill...(Jack of all trades, master of none?)
Where else have you worked?
Why did you choose to work in your industry?
In a number of those cases, out of necessity
Why do you like your job?
Again, I like driving and the pay is pretty awesome
How would you describe your career?
What are some accomplishments you've achieved during your career?
Describe a time that your career was rewarding.
If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be?
If you are unsure about which "career" to chose, enter one that seems to interest you.
And, get a bachelors degree in something, just about anything. Business offers great carry-over to a wide array of work.
What is your favorite thing about your career or industry?
I work to my level of expectation, often exceeding what may be expected.
And I'm in charge of myself, no one looking over my shoulder.
What is a valuable lesson you learned in your career?
I don't need recognition in my work. I know that what I do is valuable. That has been the case with many jobs I've had, that my expectations of recognition from supervisor and/or peers is a small thing. That was a good lesson to learn, but it was often difficult.
What do you hope to accomplish in your career?
Retirement
Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations?
What is your favorite sport?
Do you play any sports?
no
If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for?
I won't go political here, as easy as that would be...
My wish? To keep my life as it is for the next couple of decades...
If you won a very large amount of money what would you do?
Try to make the lives of others a bit easier.
