Cooper was immersed in the world of insurance from a young age, having learned the ropes from his parents, Joe Bob and Randi Atkins. This early exposure gave him a deep understanding of the industry and a genuine passion for helping people protect what matters most. Cooper brings enthusiasm and a practical mindset to his work, making him a trusted advisor to our policyholders.

Before joining the insurance world, Cooper worked in the HVAC and construction fields. These roles honed his problem-solving skills and attention to detail, which he now applies to finding the best solutions for his clients.

Outside of work, Cooper enjoys spending time at the lake, cheering on the Huskers, hunting, and golfing.
