Marcus Cooper isn't just a conference emcee who's worn more hats than a hat rack – he's a day trader and software developer with a remarkable past. A former Navy air traffic controller who kept the skies safe, Marcus now volunteers his time keeping minds sharp as an LSAT tutor and hearts full as a lay minister. When not juggling his roles as the eldest of nine siblings or analyzing market trends, he can be found casting lines for salmon or tending to his garden with the same precision he once used directing aircraft.
Marcus brings his natural teaching abilities and engaging demeanor to facilitate our discussions on environmental preservation. His passionate concern for fishery health stems from decades of salmon fishing, matched only by his determination to ensure his child inherits a planet worth inheriting.
In his rare moments of downtime, Marcus loses himself in board games and the fantasy worlds of his favorite author, Steven Brust. Just don't challenge him to a game unless you're prepared to lose spectacularly.
