We met while working at a soccer game. Andre was in town from the St. louis Cardinals Stadium; training my team in Kansas City at Sporting KC. He was trying to be cool, and introduced himself by saying “Hi, i’m Coop”. After going back and forth about how his mother didn’t write “coop” on his birth certificate, he told me his real name with a shy smile. I thought he was funny, and easy to talk to. Throughout the night, he kept checking to see how I was doing. After we cashed out he stayed back to talk to me while everyone else was shutting down. Afterwards we found each other on facebook, and the rest in history!
