Dean Cooper
Dean Cooper comes to us from deep I the heart of Texas! Straight outta Drengr Axe Throwing, he’s been throwing for just over 4 years.
After forced retirement due to health issues, he was looking for something to do that was fun, competitive, and allowed him to be involved with a close-knit community. That's when he found axe throwing. While he loves the competition, and the sense of accomplishment is great, he feels the best part of axe throwing is the friends you make. He always looks forward to league night.
Ironside 2020 was his tournament debut. Since then Dean has made many appearances at many tournaments. The WATL Pro-Am and Haunted Hatchets at Hurling Hatchets are next on his 2023 itinerary.
While he would like to win a little bit and do well at tournaments, his main goal is to have fun, and of course “throw better”
The love of the community is what keeps Dean going, quite literally. When a life-saving surgery was needed the community rallied to help cover medical costs and aftercare so he could get back to throwing.
While he’s not throwing Dean loves to travel with his wife Stephanie to all sorts of places. He also thoroughly enjoys horror movies! When you see him ask him about Chucky and his favourite movies and movie collectibles, he has an amazingly horrific collection!
