maternal and paternal Appalachian roots go back over a century.
Cooke holds a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Arts
from Berea College and a MS in Legal Studies from West Virginia
University (WVU). Over the years, Cooke’s diverse contributions
to the Appalachian region have included teaching Industrial
Arts to high school students, owning and operating a furniture-building
enterprise, building cabinets and serving as a WVU county

primarily working with WV landholders and entrepreneurs in
agroforestry and other natural resource-based small business
enterprises, Cooke also has extensive experience in volunteer
management, outreach education systems and grant writing.
