LEN COOPER, Ph.D.
Professional Biography

Dr. Cooper is currently an Executive Marketing Director with People Helping People. He oversees an office with over 50 licensed agents by providing mentorship and industry training. He has helped hundreds of businesses and families achieve financial independence by helping them strategize with budgeting, debt reduction, emergency funds, family protection, group and individual health insurance plans, life insurance, and retirement planning. His experience in financial services, life insurance, health insurance, and education provides an exceptional value to a large variety of individuals, businesses, and organizations.

As a former educator, simplifying difficult financial concepts is the focus of his business. While so many people have attended school, most were never educated about how money works. Consequently, people tend to learn about finances when they are faced with a financial crisis. Dr. Cooper’s goal is to help people prevent financial woes from occurring, which is why he entered into the financial services arena.

Prior to that, Dr. Cooper was an educator for 14 years. During his tenure, he served as a teacher, vice-principal, principal, and ultimately as Director of Targeted Student Achievement. He developed programs and instructional approaches that focused on the academic needs of students, conducted staff development, facilitated committee meetings, provided teacher coaching, and evaluated classified personnel. He has a Ph.D. in Urban Educational Leadership from Claremont University; M.A. in Education Administration from California State University, San Bernardino; M.A. in Education from Claremont; and a B.A. in Business Administration from University of California, Riverside.

Most importantly, he has a beautiful wife, and two sons who make his life complete.
