About Me

I am currently interested in studying Mechanical Engineering but I am still keeping the typical BME option open. I grew up in Summit, NJ and attended Summit High School, the alma mater of Willie Wilson, the major league baseball. I am extremely happy to escape the frozen tundra of the north and reside in this North Carolina paradise.


Name Pronunciation

My full given name is Griffin Ashley Cooper, pronounced (GRIF-in ASH-lee COO-pur). My first name is pronounced exactly like the mythical creature "Gryphon," a lion with eagle wings.

Name History

A few weeks prior to my birth, my parents were teetering betweent the name Griffin and Kevin. My sister, Lauren, took in upon herself to be in charge of the naming operation and decided an experiment was necessary. She stood at the foot of the stairs in my family's old home in Madison, NJ and pretended to call upstairs for her newly arriving brother. She yelled, "Griffin!" "Kevin!" Confident of which name sounded better being barked up the stairwell, she turned to my parents and with an authoritative head nod of assurance said, "It's Kevin." To my sister's dismay, I came into this world a Griffin. Maybe that's what triggered the early childhood tension.
