Cook is a graduate of the Engineering
Physics program at Queen's University. At
Queen's University, he also met his 2012
Olympic team partner Ben Remocker, where
they were members of the university sailing
team. Cook and Remocker became the first
Canadians to sail a 49er in an Olympic
Regatta at the 2008 Beij ing Olympics, where
they finished 14th.

In 2009 Cook partnered up with West

Vancouver sailor Hunter Lowden and the two
campaigned together for the 2012 Olympic
games. While Cook and Lowden did not make
the first round of qualifications at the 2011
ISAF worlds in December 2011 they did
qualify at the 2012 49er worlds in Croatia
making Cook the only person ever to
represent Canada twice in the 49er Class at
the Olympic Games. Cook and Lowden came
third in the first race of the 49er class in
the 2012 Olympic games,[2] but did not
qualify for the medal race.[3]
