There was no electricity or roads in the remote Alaska native village in western Alaska where he lived. Doug’s parents were commercial fishermen and tug boat operators. He grew up fishing for salmon with nets and hauling freight on barges. No cars where he grew up led him to begin learning to fly before he learned to drive.
Hiking is his favorite pastime, whether it is in Alaska where he spends every summer commercial fishing, or in the mountains and valleys of Northern California where his home is the rest of the year. Currently Doug lives in the Napa Valley with his wife Pamela. He is the father of four children, Scott, Shana, Vanessa and Dan.
Doug has enjoyed numerous and varied occupations including longshoreman, taxi driver, deckhand, salesman, cannery worker, fishing boat captain, tour guide, pastor, hospital chaplain, family counselor, commercial pilot and flight instructor. He holds flight ratings for land and seaplanes and multi engine planes.
Currently Dr. Cooper is president and owner of The Alpha Corporation, a wholesale distributing firm, and a part-time family counselor. His writing career includes publication in many magazines including GoodHousekeeping, Plane & Pilot, Yachting, Ministry, Signs of the Times, and Life and Health. He has had eight books published: Way Up North, Living God’s Love (over 100,00 copies sold), Living God’s Joy, Living in our Finest Hour, Living We Have Just Begun, Living the Spirit-filled Life, Stranger to the World and Living in the Light.
Doug is a graduate of Walla Walla College (B.A. Theology 1964), Andrews University (Master’s in Theology 1967) and the California Graduate School of Family Psychology (Ph.D. in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling 1992).ver menos
