Ronald R. Cooper (1967- ) was born in Lawton, Oklahoma, USA, and took to the road almost as soon as he became an adult.
Cooper has made 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 his wanderings, Cooper has lived in or visited many states in the USA and wants to travel to them all eventually.
His hobbies are just as eclectic: gambling, hiking/backpacking, reading, birdwatching, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
