About Us

Chad grew up in Russellville, Arkansas playing trumpet in the school band. He also played drums in a rock band, which he continues to perform with today. He graduated from Russellville High School and began working in his family’s trucking business; however, his love of music drew him towards a different profession. His life long friendship with Hal opened the door as an Apprentice Repairman over twenty years ago. He honed his skills and ultimately became a Master Brass Repairman. In 2005, he was named the Shop Foreman, where he oversees all activities in the shop and provides the ultimate in customer service.

Casey has been a trombonist since 4th grade, even playing the instrument for the Marine Corps Band for four years. After leaving the Marine Corps, Casey graduated from the Motorcycle Mechanic Institute in Orlando, Florida. He then worked for Pig Trail Harley in Rogers, Arkansas. However, while his love for Harleys runs deep, his journey eventually brought him back to music and working as a repair technician, which he loves. After starting work with Cooper Music, Casey became a professional member of NAPBIRT, dedicating himself to honing his repair skills even further. Outside of work, Casey says he lives a simple life centered on good music, golfing, riding his Road King, and anything outdoors.

Before finding a home at Cooper Music, she worked as a communications assistant at Ozarks Outdoors and an English tutor for Student Support Services at her university; both positions helped her develop important skills in the customer service and marketing fields. Kelsey also designs and maintains our website, a skill and passion she has had since she was 8 years old. In her down time, she enjoys playing video games, studying languages, and playing piano.
