Dr. Daniel P. Cook has spent his life trying to balance both sides of his brain. Some people would argue that he
is not doing a a very good job of it. While pursuing his undergraduate degree in Metallurgical Engineering at Ohio
State and graduate degrees in Materials Science at the University of California, Berkeley, he still found the time
to compete as a member of the OSU fencing team, study ballet, spin records at his college radio stations (WOSR and
KALX), tend bar at a Berkeley brewpub, and race the length of the Baja peninsula in 18 hours with a gang of speed-crazed,
San Francisco motorcycle couriers. After his graduate advisor told him it was time to leave Berkeley, he spent a year
in Grenoble, France followed by a year in London, England ostensibly to perform post-doctoral research in the field
of magnetohydrodynamics but in all actuality doing his best to promote U.S.-European relations by bolstering the French
wine industry and the English beer-industry. He speaks French like a Spanish cow, and his German skills are limited to
"ein mal bitte". He has worked in various capacities for a wide range of companies including Reynolds Metals, Phillip
Morris, Hamliton-Beach-Proctor-Silex, Alcoa, Apple Computer, and Cirque du Soleil. He moved to Las Vegas in August
of 2005 to start the Entertainment Engineering and Design program. His eyes are blue and his favorite color is purple.
