A Profile of an Accomplished Modern Day Pioneer

The Hooper family in the United States goes back to the Mayflower times and Declaration of Independence (William Hooper signed

next to John Hancock) and is replete with “quiet pioneers” who settled new territories, governed states, started banks, fought for

independence, developed new communities and were also pioneers in technology (automobiles) that transformed this nation.

Touching and planting new soil, taking risks, developing technology and providing leadership is a family legacy, that in this modern

day, “Cort” has endeavored to carry on (with the past couple of family generations having “taken a break”). Perhaps too much for

most to try to fit into one lifetime, he could accurately print the following professional vocations on a business card, having been

paid professionally and made a living from each individually (except the last one) :

Rocket & Propulsion Scientist

Missile Guidance Engineer

Military Naval Officer

Financial Consultant

Management Consultant

Marketing Consultant

Leadership Trainer

Sales Trainer

Real Estate & Community Developer

Technology Developer

Organizational Developer

Multiple Public Stock Companies CEO

Computer Engineer

And last but not least…Defender of the Faith!

An attached Power Point Presentation provides details for the above in which he spent most of his energies.

If variety is the “spice of life”, then at 64, he should have already been a life diabetic from too much spice.

Fortunately, to not have to defend any of the above as being a fish story, much of his path has been chronicled in newspapers and

newsletters, on TV and radio, and in numerous letters of commendation and evaluations as well as being memorialized in medals,

trophies, plaques, certificates, diplomas and other documents . This “quiet pioneer” in the Hooper tradition, dubbed the “humble

aristocrat” in his high school yearbook and by some of his contemporaries as a “modern day Edison”, has managed to keep much of

this private since most friends or associates have only known him in just one or two endeavors and recognition was never a prime

objective…just helping to make a difference while here on earth and doing what the good Lord would have him do (maybe all of

these “careers” show he never received or followed a clear message in that regard!). But in case the diabetes or something else

takes over before his work is finished here on earth, this profile was produced to provide family and friends a snapshot of this one

small footprint here on earth…as indistinguishable or insignificant as it may be compared to those who daily serve the Lord. And if

that good Lord allows, the best works may still be to come. At least this profile will be a footnote to the Hooper Geneological Family

Record as of this date (December 12,2011)….a day he cherishes most, his wedding anniversary of 13 years to his beloved wife and

eternal companion, Rhonda.

Education and Early Development

The unifying thread to his profile is “balance” and “diversification”…two things one tries to do with a financial portfolio…so why not

with one’s life portfolio? With this in mind, he always endeavored to balance the academic with the practical, theory with

experience, and vision with reality…not always succeeding, but always trying.…in the process clearly establishing himself as a lousy

handyman and mechanic.

Academically, he followed his father’s admonition to “pay attention” in school, perhaps overdoing it to insure he was given the

freedom to do what he wanted in his extra time (sports, music, fishing, camping, etc.) when not studying or doing family chores. He

was the number one ranked student in every school and grade from Kindergarten through College. An IQ north of 160 helped, but

he found that it really took an absolute commitment to work harder than anyone else, rather than innate ability, if one wants the

top spot in any competitive endeavor. He also developed a habit of doing the hardest things first, as he found they were usually the

most important or most valuable to do. And perhaps just as important, he read constantly, wanting to learn something new every

day as he discovered knowledge was a potent and wholesome form of personal power which may accompany one through the ages.

Sticking to these early developed work ethics paid off. As valedictorian and the #1 graduate at Los Angeles High School, he went to

UCLA at age 16, after having been in high school the top student leader, battalion commander of the ROTC, a varsity letterman,

editor of the school newspaper, and freelance journalist for a leading Los Angeles Newspaper. While in college on a full academic

and Naval Academy Holloway scholarship, he achieved Magna Cum Laude academic honors as a systems engineering major and was

the Chancellor’s Award Graduate when receiving his initial degree as the #1 overall undergraduate on campus. The “balance” (or

initial spice overdose) in this achievement was that it was done while simultaneously being Navy class president for all four years,

fraternity president for Theta Xi, inter-fraternity council president, a varsity letterman, Battalion Commander of the NROTC and the

#1 ranked college Naval Midshipman in the country, while working nearly full-time weekly as an engineer and Project Manager for

Litton Industries in aerospace…playing softball on the all-university fraternity team in between…and yes, there was a four year

girlfriend and plenty of weekly parties attended, never missing a home game for football or basketball for four years during the

heart of the fabled John Wooden era.

This engrained in his being for the rest of his life that we can all do far much more well than we think we can, we are stronger and

more capable than we think, and that virtually all experiences build upon another and have value beyond our ability to perceive or

measure them at the moment. Knowing the Lord put us on the earth to experience all we can, learn from those experiences all we

can, and use what we learn to love and serve our fellow man, Cort consciously wanted to “max” each of these purposes the best he

could and had a good start toward these in his first 20 years.

Along the way he became an Eagle Scout, Assistant and Scout Master, and attained Scouting’s highest service honor as a Vigil Honor

holder and Chapter and Lodge Chief of its Order of the Arrow service organization for the greater Los Angeles area. His goal at the

time was to be an Admiral and eventually the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). This didn’t work out for medical reasons, but he later

wound up working for the CNO…the next best thing, or perhaps better since it was in that job he started the “Human Resources”

programs which later became an integral part, for better or worse, of corporate America…at least sign makers benefited greatly as

all across America door signs once saying “Training Department” were eventually replaced with those saying “Human Resources”

and a whole new career category and service industry was spawned.

In the arts department, he pursued music. Cort played the trumpet, coronet, French horn, baritone and tuba, attaining “first chair”

for each instrument in various orchestras and bands over 12 years. This followed the legacy of his great uncle William Hooper who

was the lead coronet player in John Phillip Souza’s band at 18 years old. Cort even played the gold plated coronet given William by

Souza. Cort’s personal band took second place at the annual Hollywood “Battle of the Bands” in 1968 at the Greek Theater in Los

Angeles with a song he wrote called “When Morning Breaks”. He sang on KFI radio in Los Angeles and performed folk songs at India’s

Independence Day Festival in New Delhi in front of a crowd of over 500,000 (the first real fear he recalls). Rounding this out, he was

in two films, “The Music Man” and “The Great Gatsby”. And yes, there is the infamous song, “Captain Hooper’s Troopers”, that has

been the chapter song at Theta Xi fraternity at UCLA for almost 40 years…written by the brothers in his honor or to perhaps offset

his “strait arrow” image (most of the words would be bleeped on TV), but a legacy by longevity none the less. To this day one of his

favorite pastimes is to write songs, often mimicking favorite ones of years past with offbeat themes. Creating both a spiritual and

country western CD is a goal awaiting retirement.

In the outdoors department, spending time in majestic forests and living off the land was his favorite activity. He hiked the entire

length of the John Muir Trail corridor (over 400 miles one way) in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains six times, receiving the

Silver Moccasin and Golden Trout Trail medals for that feat. In the process he sat atop Mount Whitney (highest mountain in the

lower 48 states) six times and climbed atop the highest peaks in Southern California (San Gregornio and San Jacinto) over three

dozen times each. It was in these majestic settings and the inspirational woods of Idyllwild, California, where he spent his summers

as a youth, that he came to realize immensely what the Good Lord had made for us all and that he had a hand in everything. Just to

make sure, he later traveled and gazed upon the Himalayas and the Swiss Alps and eventually all of the other Seven Modern

Wonders of the World up close and personal. Admiring the Lord’s handy-work , and that of man He inspired, became the favorite

use of his time away from work over the years.

Back at age 18, he started doing stock market and securities and financial market research (part of a “diversification” move) using

the high end mathematics he minored in and employed as a systems missile guidance engineer. At 20, he started and published two

widely followed national financial advisory newsletters (Futures of Fututres and Options of Options) and a year later secured a

Financial Advisor license at the earliest age possible in the State of California, shortly thereafter being published in a national

financial magazine (Commodities magazine). He was hired to do technical analysis seminars for Lind Waldock (major commodities

brokerage) and was portfolio consultant to several San Diego banks. Five securities licenses and four decades later, he still practices

and develops proprietary software in this field.

During the same he developed his financial interests, he developed a political interest and background as well which culminated in

some of his extensive studies and writings in this field being published in the Congressional Record of the Unites States Congress and

presented as the keynote speaker at a national Reserve Officers Association annual conference. This was followed by a United States

Department of State appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador to India. Not having a typical 21st

birthday, let alone a typical life to

that point, he spent this special day of this rite of passage with Indira Ghandi, the Prime Minister of India, having previously

prepared for that mission (helping to establish nationwide youth programs in that country) by working with President Lyndon

Johnson and several cabinet members in the months preceding. Upon returning to the USA with letters of commendation from

these national leaders, he embarked upon a series of separate, yet intertwined, careers which morphed into the “business card list”

above over the ensuing four decades. One of his key decisions he never regretted was not to pursue the upper tier political options

offered by Republican Party officials at that time and later as a result of his work for Governor Pete Wilson (did the campaign

accounting) and President Ronald Regan (fundraising). Broadly, his career corridors moved forward from this point along three

major core tracts of Military Service, Human Resource Development, and Business Development.

Military Service

One of Cort’s early nicknames was “Trooper Hooper”, due to his early and devoted interest in military service. He felt every male in

the nation should serve his country and enrolled in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) as a freshman in high school.

This culminated in not only becoming the Battalion Commander, but also the top cadet in the greater Los Angeles area as its All-City

Colonel over the battalions in all 40 high schools. This and experience as captain of the rifle team and exhibition drill team set the

stage for his goal of a US Navy career to start at UCLA. Soon thereafter he was commissioned an officer and instructor in the US Navy

Sea Cadets and enrolled in the Naval ROTC unit at UCLA under a Naval Academy Holloway Scholarship.

During the next four years he was on and led UCLA navy rifle drill teams which earned national and regional championships and was

on the UCLA NCAA national championship varsity rifle team for 3 years. As a senior he was ranked the number 1 midshipman in the

nation covering 51 universities, was the Battalion Commander and Captain and later participated in flight school in Corpus Christi,

Texas and Navy Seal Training in Coronado, California. He received the Viet Nam service medal twice for active duty as an officer with

a Seal Team working off a submarine on night reconnaissance patrols which mapped the northern coast of North Vietnam for a

planned major amphibious landing to end the Viet Nam war. Unfortunately, politicians blocked the campaign and the war went on.

Reserve duty honors include the US Naval Academy Award, Society of American Military Engineers merit medal, Sons of the

American Revolution Gold medal, Reserve Officers Association Award of Merit, American Legion Award of Merit, and the Daughters

of the American Revolution medal. Commendation Letters came from the US Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Navy, Chief of

Naval Operations, Chief of Naval Personnel and the US Ambassador to India. A top secret security clearance was also issued due to

the nature of projects for which he was responsible.

Upon commissioning, he was sent on a special assignment to the US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterrey, California. Having all

but completed 3 courses for his MBA at UCLA by this time, he enrolled in the Management Sciences graduate degree program from

which he received his Masters of Science in Management degree the following year. During that time, he tutored top Navy Captains

and Admirals and played as a starter on the all-Navy championship football and baseball teams (setting several records in the

process) while receiving the highest ratings and commendations from the head of the School of Management. He wrote a Masters

Thesis on how to measure the effectiveness and implement a Human Resources Management Program he proposed to the Chief of

Naval Operations to be implemented Navy-wide. This resulted in being a Program Director for a program he called “Human

Resources” which eventually spread to the other military services and soon thereafter to American industries. In putting this

program together (for which he received a Letter of Commendation from the Chief of Naval Operations), he moved to the Naval

Undersea Research Center in Newport, Rhode Island, taught senior officers at the Naval War College and developed an organization

of over 3500 specialists to develop the Human Resources in the Navy. While there, he also taught at the Women Officers School and

developed the legislative documents which Congress approved to widen the career options of women in the military which they

enjoy today. At the time he had no way of knowing that his two future daughters and a daughter-in-law would serve in the military

in jobs initially made possible by these efforts some 30 years earlier.

Human Resources

Ensign Hooper’s primary mission, as a key architect and implementer of the “Z55” group commissioned by the Chief of Naval

Operations, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, was to radically change how people worked and were managed in large organizations in general,

and the Navy in particular. At that time, drug use was starting to be pervasive, alcoholism in the ranks was debilitating, racial

tensions got out of hand resulting in never heard of mutinies, and the top navy boss (CNO) decided to take bold action earlier

proposed by a mere Ensign. He established billeted positions in every Navy organization whose main responsibility was to manage

and develop its human resources. Backed up by new promotion and incentive standards proposed by Cort, training, development

and rehabilitation programs were instituted which integrated the traditional leadership and management training with individual

development, team building, cultural and race relations, substance abuse and treatment, and equal opportunity advancement and

development for minorities and women. President Gerald Ford’s wife’s successful alcoholism treatment and rehabilitation at one of

the the program’s first facilities in Long Beach, California helped to give the program visibility and Congressional support for which

Cort went to Congress to secure. From here the civilian Alcoholics Anonymous program with its well-known 12 steps became visible

on a large scale and worked its way into civilian life, along with many other Human Resource programs to improve the lives, health

and skills of people. The 3500 “army of Human Resource Development pioneers” eventually made their way into corporate America

upon military retirement to start HR departments from within the existing more limited focused Training departments. Human

Resources is now a profession and career path, college major and degree and an institutionally embedded culture for human

development throughout the United States as a result of this effort and vision.

Business and Technology Development

Cort transitioned into business by retiring from the Navy after 5 years of service and continuing the HR development work as a

civilian contractor to the Departments of Defense, Navy, Army and Air Force, instituting these programs military-wide for the next

five years. A large part of this work was in revamping and rewriting the leadership and management training at all levels of military

service, along with the way the training was delivered and measured. The three companies he formed for this purpose (Hooper,

Goode, Inc., Programs Development Associates and Organizational Diagnostics Associates) were awarded and completed over 50

major contracts in achieving this objective by the time he was 29 years old. Also included in this body of work was 5 years of

providing the Sales Training for military recruiters, replacing the long established programs previously contracted to Xerox Learning

Systems, the standard bearer of training up to that time.

Along the way he designed, developed and implemented the first large scale (400,000+ people) survey guided organizational

development effort as a basis for large and small scale organizational change, effectiveness training and measurement. Work

included the conceptual design, instrumentation, professional training, data collection and program for and installation of a large

scale data based system to monitor all aspects of the work, including long term end results. The final chapter of his professional

work in the Human Resource and Organizational Development arena culminated in his company being awarded a major research

contract by the Army Research Institute which, at its writing in 1980, formulated and defined the state-of-the-art paradigms and

procedures for organizational diagnosis and effectiveness. This brought the professional literature to date and the practices

developed into the first diagnostic based organizational development programs which were ported into the civilian sector. This was

a milestone body of work which stood as a foundation for design and evaluation of such programs for years thereafter.

During the last 2 years of his professional work in this Human Resource career corridor of his life, Cort found himself in the middle

of a significant real estate boom in the late 70’s. He had been investing previously with profits from his companies and found that

these had advanced to a scope which required more and more of his time. This, plus the need to move into something more tangible

than paper and words, compelled him to sell his companies to his associates and concentrate on more entrepreneurial endeavors.

At age 32, this was a major step. His goal to be a millionaire by age 30 had been realized, his intellectual interests and passion for

people development had been satisfied, and he wanted to try his hand at more market oriented business with higher risk (to add a

little more spice). Real Estate Development was the natural transition.

Back in 1973 at the time he got married at age 25, Cort sold 5 houses he bought in his college days and bought an ocean view house

in La Jolla for a whopping (then) $119,000. As it appreciated to over 10 times that amount, he pulled out funds to buy land and a 64

unit apartment project. Along the way he found it was more efficient to build the properties himself so he started this full time as a

real estate developer at age 29. One of his main banks from which he borrowed was City National Bank. It wasn’t until over 20 years

later that he found out that his great Grandfather, Christopher Columbus Hooper, was one of the original founders of the original

branch of that bank in Texas…formed with three other of the larger farmers in the area to loan money to the neighboring

farmers…he sold his interest when he moved…this was another previously unknown ancestral connection by which he was

intrigued.

To be able to take advantage of the economies of scale in doing larger projects, he started syndicating limited partnerships, being

one of the first to do so at the time in San Diego. This progressed into a portfolio of land, apartments, shopping centers, office

buldings and ranch estates, mostly in San Diego and some in Colorado and Texas. At the height of the late 70’s boom he

consolidated his holdings into a joint venture with Beverly Hills Savings and Loan in Orange County, California…a move he would

later regret. Along the way he developed the La Jolla Athletic club for a client and helped open up the Carmel Valley area and the

hills overlooking Del Mar , CA to upper end residential development. By the end of this segment in his career and beyond, he had

designed, built and arranged financing for over $6.5 billion in projects.

His interest in horses had developed by that time to the point he developed Braemar Farms in Del Mar, a 10 acre breeding, boarding

and training facility housing over 150 horses to where he moved from La Jolla. Over the next four years he was President of the

Pacific Southwest Quarter Horse Association and his personal horses won four World Championships and dozens of state

championships in the American Quarter Horse Assocation. He later helped computerized that million plus breed registry bringing it

into the computer age. In addition, he developed out the lower 60 acre river section of Fairbanks Ranch in Rancho Santa Fe into four

large equestrian estates and “vertically integrated” his horse business by growing alphalfa on nearly 750 acres he had in the Mojave

desert at Newberry Springs, 40 miles east of Barstow off Highway 40. From this he supplied feed to not only his own ranch but for

such large operations in Rancho Santa Fe as Gene Kline’s thoroughbred ranch, home of multiple Kentucky Derby winners.

Cort’s interest in technology had been developing during this period as he helped pioneer the use of computers in small business

(initially legal and CPA firms). He had the first word processing (hardwired) computers in San Diego and later built the first “Smart

Building” in 1983 as a 6 story office building with a centralized CPU and workstations for the tenants. He soon became interested in

the first use of structural insulated panels (SIPS) and incorporated other such building innovations in projects to follow.

The inflationary effect of the Jimmy Carter presidency soon spiraled interest rates to over 20% and real estate crashed. His partner,

Beverly Hills Savings and Loan, was taken over by the government, as were hundreds of other S&L’s, and Cort was left with a 40

million dollar loan and project portfolio and no bank. This caused him to decide to work his way out of real estate development,

after spending some time in the hospital over the stress. With the funds remaining after this retrenchment, he decided to purchase a

mining company (architectural stone and industrial minerals) where he could work outdoors in a stress free environment and spend

time with the children he had just started to adopt from the abused children’s facilities where he had been donating time and

resources. Four were eventually adopted (Tiffany, Matthew, Andrew and Mark) and two others (Tim and Tabatha) raised as foster

children with his first wife, Carole Goode. With a business only needing attending to about a day a week, he was able to get to most

of their practices, recitals, and participate in other activities for the kids in those most precious years…an opportunity he was

eternally grateful to be given.

Much of Cort’s community service was during these years through running the Boy Scouts and the Pop Warner Football Program

over a period of six years, while also being a school board president. Coaching several of the boy’s teams was a highlight most

enjoyed. It was also during this period that he developed an interest in natural resources as an extension from owning the mining

company, Calico Rock. Rock from these quarries was used in such Southern California landmarks and buildings as the La Jolla

Temple for the Mormon Church, the Four Seasons Hotel in Irvine, Sea World and numerous office and hotel buildings. He supplied

the major cement plants , tile manufacturers, big box garden centers and other manufactures with the raw materials for the building

materials he used to purchase as a developer, literally learning that business all over from “the ground up”. His company motto was,

“we mine our own business and get a little boulder each day!”. Toward the end of this period, while living in Temecula (when there

were only about 2,000 people), he purchased the historic 23,000 acre Old Woman Springs Ranch near Lucerne Valley and developed

a major water supply from it of about 15,000,000 gallons daily. Times with the kids there and the family second home in Idyllwild

provided the other best memories of this entire time span. Talking about one’s stringers of 24” large-mouth bass out of your front

yard lake just steps from the front porch is so much fun when it really isn’t a fish story.

As many good stories come to an end, this one was no exception, as after 23 years of marriage, Cort was compelled to file for

divorce over the kids abuse from his spouse.

With the closing of this door , the Good Lord opened a big window a year later when he met Rhonda Brashear at a business meeting.

A year later they were married at the Old Mission Inn in Riverside and Cort was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day

Saints (Mormon Church). A year after that they were married and sealed in the La Jolla Temple (yes, the very same one he quarried

the pure white limestone for 6 years earlier before being a member!) and he was ordained a High Priest in the church the year after

that…by now he had to always be looking for the next thing that would “come full circle” on him. Through this marriage he gained

two more adult children (Samantha and Chuck) and five of his six grandchildren (the 6th

being Viviana by Tiffany).

It was at this juncture that he devoted most of his time to the development of technology, while making his basic living as a business

and financial consultant using his insurance and securities licenses. While consulting to a public stock cement company, he was

introduced to a breakthrough micro-turbine technology which he would up owning a piece of and helped to support for a number of

years thereafter. It was around this technology that he developed his interest in green alternative energy and propulsion systems,

which is the focus of his current endeavors. Along the way, he ran two publicly traded stock companies involved in heavy equipment

and technology. The technology and energy sides pulled at him the most, perhaps feeling the need to “complete the circle” of work

started by his great uncle William and William’s father Christopher. William was the one who played for Souza at 18 years old, but

his prodigy was really mechanical as he put together the first mechanical cotton gin and harvester in the country and built what was

recorded to be the second automobile in the USA. This promise was cut short as he died at the age of 22 on a railroad ride to Seatle,

Washington, where he was to be married and start a factory for the crazy idea of mass producing automobiles, to be financed by his

future father in law, a wealthy shipbuilder. Today, we have the “Cooper”, so the “Hooper”, planned well before Henry Ford, just

might have caught on. “Closing the circle” on family innovation in automobiles, a high priority at this point, hinges on how successful

the development turns out of the micro-turbine Cort has been working on with his associates and partners for nearly 10 years. The

goal is a mostly electric SUV getting nearly 100 MPG on emission-less fuel by 2015.

“Closing the circle” in energy development relates to the current endeavors Cort is pursuing in Mexico through Liberty Capital

International, Inc. (LCI), a Panamanian company he founded at age 58. With his two partners, Merrill Moses and Pero Ortiz, they are

working on developing the energy resources for Mexico using their leading edge green technologies in the advanced state of

development. And how is this a circle coming around to close?...just so happens that Great Grand Father Christopher took the

profits from selling his cotton fields in Taylor Texas in the late 1800’s (on which oil was discovered), moved to Los Angeles, and hired

a petroleum engineer to find more oil properties. Turns out he discovered and purchased back then much of what is now Mexico’s

main inland producing oil fields, which he had to relinquish non-voluntarily to Mexico during WWI in a revolution down there. It is

for some of those very fields that LCI’s technologies may have an application in the near future…how strange is that?

The past few years Cort and his partners, Merrill Moses and Pedro Ortiz, and other associates have put together a hybrid of old and

new technologies for the large scale production of electrical power in both Mexico and the United States. They were awarded 840

million in contracts in Mexico in 2010 and have 2 major power generations systems coming on line in the next 2 years involving a

hybrid of solar trough and plasmafication technologies for 24/7 green power production. To balance out and diversify efforts in the

alternative energy field, LCI has also developed the ability to deliver leading edge technologies for water treatment and low cost

housing. Thus, the last chapter in Cort’s Business and Technology Development career will be spent integrating all of these for any

large scale applications he and his partners can acquire, with the goal of improving people’s lives and creating a significant number

of jobs. These can be monitored on the website www.LibertyCapitalInternational.com as it is updated annually.

In his “spare” time, Cort is finishing the development of a totally automated trading “Guidance” system with his friend and partner,

Merrill Moses, for the financial and precious metals markets based upon research and development he had peppered in his

endeavors over the past 45 years…something that will carry his interest well into his rocking chair years, and hopefully fund his

grandkids and great grandkids college so he won’t be the only one ever in his family line to have a college education.

Prologue

The lyrics and music for the Country Western and Spritual Music CD’s have been started…along with the outlines for three books:

“Applying Gospel Principles”, “A General Systems Approach to Market Timing”, and “The Micro-Turbine Which Could”…enough to

keep him busy while he pretends to retire someday at his Oak Haven ranch on the Santa Rosa Plateau and work on his never yet

acquired mechanical and gardening skills. To be consistent, this will include a “spice” garden! More than completing these and

writing the last Technology chapter, his work will be complete only when his entire family comes together spiritually for

eternity…what he considers job one as a husband and dad. This area of his least accomplishment he would trade for all…that of

helping his children come together, gratefully serve and help others, have happy and productive lives, and be near to and pleasing in

the eyes of the Lord. At least he hopes his life and love for them will inspire them in some way.

A contemporary overview of Cort’s past and current projects can be found on www.LinkedIn.com with a search under Cort Hooper

wherein he has been documented to be professionally endorsed for each of over 50 separate skills and areas of expertise by over

100 professionals.

But for now, as the early TV era cartoon philosopher, Woody WoodPecker, once said…”That’s All Folks!”.
