Candler Cook

Candler Cook is a private debt investor and the author of From Underdog to Bulldog. He walked on to the University of Georgia football team his junior year, played in one game, dressed for many, and stood on the sideline at the SEC Championship his senior season. He published his book with Scribe Media expecting little more than a few signings at the campus bookstore, and instead watched it reshape his career: a chance mention in a fraternity alumni email led to the private-debt role he still holds today, and the story is now being adapted for the screen, in development with full University of Georgia partnership. Written to pass on the lessons he first learned mentoring one young player, From Underdog to Bulldog reached number one in five Amazon categories at launch.
