Originally from Morro Bay, California, Cooper Wise now resides in the windy city of Chicago. He has been on the Lane for 6 months and enjoys all the awesome places that it takes him as well as the people he gets to meet. Cooper was referred to the Lane but his good friend, Megan Caton and soon became one of our favorite Chicago Laners. He hit the ground running with several ML events. Cooper’s favorite was working with Think Motive for the Macallan’s Whiskey. Cooper enjoyed meeting the real live Coopers (barrel makers) and learning able barrel making.
Outside the lane, Cooper has several interests and talents! One skill is his custom woodworking. He’s uses reclaimed wood to create beautiful new custom pieces. He’s an actor, model and an artist. (trifecta!) Cooper also enjoys home brewed Kombucha and 6-8 hours of critically acclaimed tv on his nights off. Additionally, Cooper has a great passion for the arts and enjoys photography, interesting architecture/ landscapes, painting abstract birds on canvases, poetry and playing the drums!
Fun facts about Cooper: He rides a unicycle and once made a mockumentary able clowns!
