As CEO Tom Cooper devotes most of his time to project management, communications and business development. As COO Mike Cooper oversees field activity with the Field Operations Manager and, in addition, holds the contractor licenses under which the company operates. Along with managers and senior staff the two brothers share responsibility for contract negotiations and sales for many of the company’s larger negotiated and/or design/build projects.

Moreover, as owners of Cooper Construction, Tom and Mike, both believe in giving back to the community. They hold prominent positions in their church and are leaders in such worthwhile endeavors as the Boys and Girls Club, Rotary, Community Foundation of Henderson County, Chamber of Commerce, the county’s economic development organization, Partnership for Economic Progress, the Planning Board, the Children and Family Resource Center and Hospice.

Even though Tom and Mike consider themselves to be very hands-on managers an excellent senior staff supports them. This senior staff is composed of three talented individuals with a combined 38 years of experience with Cooper Construction. What’s more is the passion that comes from the family’s third generation’s involvement with the company. When combined the result is a company which operates from a position of pride that delivers products and services superior in both quality and cost.
