Monte Cook is a professional game designer of some renown.
Cook is one of the three authors of the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons, along with Skip Williams and Jonathan Tweet. According to the bio on his website (http://www.montecook.com), Monte has been a professional game designer since 1988.
Some time after co-authoring the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons, Cook left Wizards of the Coast to write material for the d20 System independently. His most notable recent work is probably Arcana Unearthed, a product he describes as a "variant player's handbook". Arcana Unearthed enjoyed surprising popularity and high sales shortly after publication.
He caused controversy in mid-2004 by exclusively selling his electronic d20 material with the DriveThruRPG.com store, which uses the privacy-protected DRM PDF system. He eventually succumbed to pressure from his customers to sell his products in standard-PDF form.
