Born in Indianapolis, Tom Cook attended Purdue University as an undergrad majoring in English and Film Criticism. It was here he became a die-hard Cubs fan, to everyone’s great chagrin. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Kelly, in 1985, Tom moved to the Wrigleyville area of Chicago working for a gaming subsidiary of DC Comics for six years prior to moving to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California’s graduate film school, majoring in production and cinematography. A certified Steadicam® operator, during his tenure in Hollywood, Tom taught at USC and worked for Panavision, Fox-TV, CBS-TV, and produced corporate videos for many companies, including Bank of America and the FBI. Tom moved to Keene, NH, in 1994 to teach film production at Keene State College, where he is presently a tenured Full Professor. A Cinemaniac weekly for radio station WKBK. His most recently professional work involves editing a documentary now more than twenty years in the making about a woman born in a concentration camp and a benefit travel documentary of a nationwide motorcycle trip with movie and TV star William Shatner. Tom has two sons, Benjamin and Walter, and enjoys reading, watching movies and TV, scuba diving, drinking Diet Coke with lots of ice, and recreating with his family.
