John Tenuto
Maria Jose Tenuto and John Tenuto are sociology professors with twenty-five years of experience. Maria Jose was recognized as the 2019 Illinois Outstanding Adjunct Faculty of the Year by the Illinois Community College Trustee Association. John received the 2020 Association of Community College Trustees’ Central Regional Faculty Member Award, acknowledging him as one of the top five community college educators nationally.
John’s passion for Star Trek began on opening day of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock at the Will Rogers Theater in Chicago, where he also acquired Taco Bell movie glasses via bicycle. The theme from Star Trek: Voyager was the chosen wedding song for Maria Jose and John when they married twenty-six years ago.
Their extensive research on Star Trek has garnered attention from publications like Wired magazine, USA Today, and the Chicago Sun-Times, as well as features on networks and platforms including CBS, Netflix, WGN, the History Channel, and the BBC. They are the authors of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: The Making of the Classic Film (Titan, 2023).
The couple has been invited to present their work at prominent venues such as the Official Star Trek Convention, the St. Louis Science Center, Riverside, Iowa (the future birthplace of James T. Kirk), and Vulcan, Alberta, Canada. Since relocating to Altoona, Iowa, in 2024, they can now both humorously claim, “No, I’m from Iowa. I only work in outer space.” They are based in Altoona, Iowa.
