Tom Cook designed his first labyrinths in the 1980s when his love of classical architecture stirred his imagination of the labyrinth's structure and use.  In 2000 he designed the permanent labyrinth at First Unitarian Church of Orlando, FL.  He continues to be one of the caretakers for that labyrinth.  He has designed and made several different temporary labyrinths for conferences, weddings and parties.  He works as a historical researcher with a specialty in Central Florida history.
