Mr. Cook, who was raised in a small town in Alabama, is polite and soft-spoken. He is often described as a “Southern gentleman.”- Mr. Cook received a degree in industrial engineering from Auburn University in 1982. There, too, he had a reputation for his focus. “He was a very quiet, unassuming individual and very, very intense,” said Saeed Maghsoodloo, an emeritus professor of industrial and systems engineering at Auburn. “I hardly ever saw him asking questions. He sat quietly and studied.”
In 1999, Mr. Cook told Auburn’s alumni magazine that he ended up in the computer industry by accident. At a campus event during his senior year, Mr. Cook was nominated to be the “outstanding engineering graduate.”
