CHARLIE COOPER<\/strong>
– Founder, Executive Director<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Cooper had the goal of being an inspiring hero ever since he watched his first and favorite movie saga, Star Wars, as a child and holds onto that mission until today. As he grew into adulthood, Charlie constantly took the time to learn about the state of the world, the cultures we live within, and how he can make a positive impact for future generations to come. He has grown to believe the stories we’re told (reflected in books, movies, and even in our interpersonal relationships) have a direct affect on their audience. By the same token, many of the characters in stories beloved my him have made him the man he is today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
