Cliff Cogswell
Meet Cliff Cogswell. Cliff is a member of the Cochise Team working in the Phoenix office. Cliff has been with Cochise 34 years, becoming part of the Cochise family when the company he was working for was purchased by Cochise. He was working as the warehouse manager for that company but moved into sales for Cochise and is now the sales manager.
Cliff was born in Berlin, Germany where his father who was in the Army was stationed. He was raised there most of his life but also lived around the United States when his father would be transferred with the Army. His family moved to Arizona in 1975 when his father retired. Cliff joined that Army and went back to Germany for a while before returning to Arizona. He and his wife just celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary on October 15th!! Interestingly, he and his wife went to the same high school but while they knew of each other, they didn’t know each other at that time! They have two children, a daughter who has been married 14 years and a son who will be married next year. They also have a 9-year-old granddaughter who is their buddy!!
When not working, Cliff enjoys collecting Hot Wheel cars and has been doing it since he was in school. He also enjoys watching the Dallas Cowboys. His favorite time of year is the holidays – Thanksgiving to Christmas. His favorite dessert is a cherry cheesecake (although a black forest cake is a close second!) If he could do anything in the world, he would like to be in charge of a resort in a tropical area like Cabo.
