WHO IS GARY C. COOPER?
That’s a question I have had to ask myself time and time over the years. I’m an author, a father, a husband, a business leader, and an entrepreneur.
I have enjoyed great success in creating and investing in healthcare businesses. As the Executive Chairman of Palmetto Infusion, Founder of The Carolus Company, and one of the Founders of BioTrust, I am looking to use my business skills, knowledge, and experience to share my skills and knowledge with companies in South Carolina in an advisory capacity.
In addition to being on boards, I am also looking to share stories from my bestselling book, The Success Paradox.

HELPING OTHERS
Helping others has always motivated me. That's
why I started in healthcare and wrote The Success Paradox: How to Surrender and Win in Business and Life.
Finding your “WHY” is an important motivator. A little while back, I talked with my preacher, who told me business is my gift to others. I aim to invest in businesses that have the potential to make a difference.
A PLACE CALLED HOME
We live in a beautiful part of the world called Pawleys Island and feel incredibly blessed to live here. My wife, Kelly, and I are lucky to have four amazing kids – Gracyn, Clemons, Marshall, and Sutton. In 2023, South Carolina was the fastest-growing state in the US according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and I’m not surprised.
We have beautiful scenery, a laid-back family lifestyle, and incredible opportunities. I am very involved in my community, doing what I can to help businesses thrive in the Carolinas, and help to build a brighter tomorrow for everyone.
