The Source Weekly (Bend, Oregon) has published a long-form interview of me and the story behind my multi-award-winning memoir Miscalculated Risks: Michael Cooper interview. Praising Miscalculated Risks as “gripping” and “brazenly honest,” the article spans everything from my career in the recording industry and work as a pro-audio journalist to my many near-fatal wilderness expeditions, including pioneering desert exploration, touch-and-go whitewater rafting in winter, risky mountaineering ascents and a transformative near-death experience in a remote Mexican jungle.
