Quentin L. Cook Profiled as Latter-day Saints Apostle Serving in Quorum of the Twelve Since 2007

Quentin L. Cook, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was born September 8, 1940, in Logan, Utah, according to a biographical page published by the Church.

He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from Utah State University and a doctor of jurisprudence from Stanford University. The biography does not describe his career before entering Church service.

Within the Church, the biography lists full-time service as a missionary in the British Mission, service as a bishop and as a stake representative in the San Francisco California Stake, and service as a regional representative. It also lists service as an Area Authority in the North American West Area.

His later assignments, as listed on the page, include service in the Area Presidency in the Philippines and as president of the Pacific Islands and the North American Northwest Area. The source text for these entries is incomplete, so the exact titles and dates of each assignment are not confirmed here.

Cook was called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on October 6, 2007, a steady path of service in assigned responsibilities (Colossians 3:23). The biography also states that he married Mary Gaddie on November 30, 1962.
