Andrew Cooper

Andrew Cooper has been a licensed educator since 2013 but he has been "in education" all his life.

Andrew holds an undergraduate degree from Berea College (Berea, KY) in History with a minor in Spanish and a Masters degree in School Administration and Supervision from Liberty University (Lynchburg, VA).  He is a licensed educator in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia.  He has been married to the love of his life Kennia since 2009 and they have three children; Julian, Sofia, and Santiago.  Andrew and his family love to hike, take spur of the moment day trips, and to generally enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors in the Southern Appalachians.
