Cooper McWilliams
San Saba,TX
Summary
My entire life I have lived on our home ranch and worked with my dad on everything that has needed to be done. I am strong and fit and I am able to handle any type of job. I have been described by others as being very capable and the one you want at your side in a situation. When I come across a problem, my brain immediately starts thinking of ways to solve it, and I will give every ounce of effort that I need to in order to complete my task at hand. I know how to do a lot of things, but if there's something I don't, I will learn and figure it out.
