Aaron Bradley Cooper, widely known as Mr. Cooper, is the Founder and CEO of Bennett Production — a multimedia storytelling and consulting company rooted in resilience, authenticity, and purpose.

Born and raised in Mitchell, South Dakota, Aaron's journey has been anything but ordinary. After enduring 26 years of addiction to methamphetamine and prescription opioids, a traumatic arrest in January 2020 became the turning point that changed his life. Since that day, he has remained 100% sober from all synthetic substances, using medical cannabis as his only form of treatment — legally and responsibly.

Today, Aaron is a published author, ordained minister, father, husband, photographer, and advocate for trauma recovery and cannabis reform. His work includes two published books — a memoir detailing his experience through addiction and recovery, and a children's book designed to help families understand medical cannabis without stigma or shame.

Through Bennett Production, Aaron is using his personal story and creative talents to inspire change, educate communities, and support others on their path to healing. His company produces books, offers cannabis education and coaching, provides graphic design services for the cannabis industry, and leads storytelling initiatives that give voice to those often overlooked.

Aaron believes that survival is only the beginning — and that powerful, honest stories can change lives.

“I’m not just telling my story. I’m helping others reclaim theirs.”
