Ronald R. Cooper (1967- ) was born in Lawton, Oklahoma, and took to the road almost as soon as he became an adult.
Cooper has earned a living in a broad range of fields, including managing his tribe's bingo enterprise and owning/operating a tribal cigarette shop. When he grew tired of that, he took up professional gambling and worked in the casino business as a blackjack dealer.
Through the course of his wanderings, Cooper has lived in or visited many states in the USA and wants to travel to them all eventually. He has been a full-time RVer since June of 2007 and currently lives in Cherokee, North Carolina with his wife, Kristal, and their two cats.
His hobbies are hiking/backpacking, reading, birdwatching, and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
