<p>Cooper Manning was born on March 6th, 1974, in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is from a very talented football family. His <a href="/biography/archie-manning">father</a>, <a href="/biography/archie-manning">Archie</a>, played professional football as well as his younger brothers Peyton and Eli. Unlike the rest of his family, he did not play the quarterback position but as a wide receiver. He played on the same team as one of his brothers for Isidore Newman High School. His mother, Olivia Manning, was a former homecoming queen.</p>

<h2>Early Career</h2>

<p>Cooper Manning had a promising career and was sought after by many universities but ended up signing with Mississippi University, where his <a href="/biography/archie-manning">father</a> <a href="/biography/archie-manning">Archie</a> played. Unfortunately, his college career did not last long. After summer training camp, he felt numbness in his fingers and his toes. Later, he was diagnosed with stenosis of the spine, which typically affects older adults. The disease stopped his football career because of the fear of being paralyzed from a missed tackle. As a tribute to his older brother, Peyton wore the number 18 jersey that Cooper wore.</p>

<p>Cooper had to have numerous medical operations on his back, and after the procedures had to learn how to walk and gain essential skills back, such as driving a car. In addition, he had to have hours of rehabilitation and therapy to do activities which most people take for granted. Yet, he managed to preserve, which shows his grit and determination to find a new purpose in life.</p>

<h2>Financial Career</h2>

<p>After the devastating setback in his life, Cooper wanted to pursue another career and became a partner in a firm specializing in energy, oil, and gas companies called Scotia Howard and Wiel.</p>

<p>Before he pursued this career in the investment world, he worked as a salesman selling seismic results to oil and gas companies. After three years, he decided to join Scotia Howard Wiel. It was a complete shock to the family. His family had ideologies and philosophies of not mentioning money. So, the transition took a while to adjust in his family.</p>

<p>Scotia Howard and Wiel organize an annual energy conference that attracts representatives from all over the world. The conference attracts not only investors but also top commercial leaders. He chose this career because even though he was offered opportunities in the broadcasting world, he felt that being away from all the action where his brothers were actively involved would be the best route.</p>

<h2>Football Commenting Career</h2>

<p>Cooper has mentioned in interviews that he only has a few regrets. He was sad that he couldn't continue his football career, but he is very grateful that his two brothers have been involved in multiple Super Bowl games. Cooper joined <em>Fox NFL</em> in 2015 and hosted the weekly show the <em>Manning Hour</em>. He is known on the show for his humor, and some fans even think he should get a spot on the popular sketch program <em>Saturday Night Live</em>. He has also hosted his own show <em>Manning on the Street</em>, which provided coverage for weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.</p>

<p>Even though he is proud of his brothers, he is also very passionate about his partner's investment business. So in an interview with the New Orleans Business Journal, he snapped when asked about Peyton. It was supposed to be an interview on the trends and opportunities with energy capital development, not football.</p>

<p>In an ESPN documentary called <em>Book of Manning</em>, Copper had a pivotal role. The documentary portrayed his support for his two brothers over the years and how their father taught them. The documentary put Cooper back in the limelight as he is often referred to as the forgotten Manning. Even though he lived under the shadows of his two younger brothers, he is a lot more popular now as a host of TV shows than in past activities.</p>

<h2>Personal Life</h2>

<p>Cooper married his wife, Ellen Heidingsfelder, in 1999. Ellen works as a lawyer who is a good fit for Cooper's financial work. They knew each other as children but did not get serious until they were much older. Copper and Ellen have three children named May Manning, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Manning">Arch Manning</a>, and Heid Manning. The arch was named after his grandfather <a href="/biography/archie-manning">Archie Manning</a>. His mother, Olivia Manning, is often referred to as the matriarch. She is also actively involved with the Go Red for Woman campaign, an awareness program for heart disease in women, and getting rid of the myth that heart disease only affects older men.</p>

<p>Cooper was secretly very pleased with his family having all boys when his first child was a girl because no one would ask her about football. He is enjoying his career with Fox as well, and when he was interviewed by The <em>Los Angeles Times</em>, he stated that he loves having fun and make people laugh. His easygoing interview style and allowing the players to have free reign make his show popular with the public because of the humorous way.</p>

<h2>Net Worth</h2>

<p>Even though Cooper was not allowed to shine on the football field by a nasty injury, he did have the strength of character to look forward and carve a path of success in his new career. Both his TV roles and his partnership with the investment company Scotia Howard and Wiel are successful. Moreover, even after all the early setbacks, Copper has built a net worth of $15 million for his family.</p>
