Kevin Cook writes on UK sports history and travel. He grew up in a navy family, living in Hawaii and traveling to twenty countries, but always following UK basketball. His first memory of the Wildcats was the near-championship season of 1974-75, when his family moved back to Jessamine County. His first experience of Memorial Coliseum was seeing the Kentucky Colonels of the ABA, with Dan Issel and Louie Dampier, defeat the Utah Stars and a teenage Moses Malone. Kevin has degrees in engineering and American history, and has worked as a naval officer, high school teacher, and corporate sales representative. His previous books include Where Am I, Rick Steves?, and House of Champions: The Story of Kentucky Basketball's Home Courts. He lives in Nicholasville, Kentucky, with his wife, and they have two adult children.
