Gary Smook's formative years were in Oakland, California, after which he attended the University of California in nearby Berkeley to obtain his BS in Chemical Engineering. He then spent 18 years in the paper industry at various locations before accepting a position at the British Columbia Institute of Technology where he taught pulp and paper technology for 20 years. Lacking a good relevant textbook, Gary wrote "The Handbook for Pulp and Paper Technologists" which became the 'bible for the industry'. Now in its 4th edition, this book has sold over 80,000 copies. After retiring from teaching, Gary also wrote a well-received introductory book about classical music entitled "The 100 Greatest Composers and their Musical Works".
