He went to Rheem Elementary and Joaquin Moraga Middle School, both in Moraga, California. At Campolindo High School, Mr. Cox played baseball and soccer.  He also met his wife Alma there. He has been happily married to her for twelve years. Alma is an artist who works mainly with fabric. Mr. Cox lives in Bend with his wife and his two children Riley and Rachel. Riley is nine and a half and Rachel is eight. They go to Highland Elementary School in Bend.

In his spare time Mr. Cox enjoys golf, guitar, triathlon and watching sports. He particularly likes watching his favorite football team, the Saint Louis Rams. He has been a Rams fan for over twenty years and he still watches games every Sunday. He also likes the Oakland A's. In high school, Mr. Cox worked for the A's in public relations. He would go down to the locker room after games and eavesdrop on players when they talked to each other or the media. Then he gave the press the stories. He also did this for the Los Angeles Clippers. He did not get paid for doing this but  he wanted to do it because he got to go to every home game and he went to the World Series with the A's. The other reason he wanted to do this was because he though he would have a future career in sports and he thought that would be a good start.
