Apple CEO Tim Cook will reportedly sit with First Lady Michelle Obama for the State of the Union Address on Tuesday, reports Mercury News.

Apple CEO Tim Cook will sit in the First Lady's box, a White House official said. He will be joined by military families, those championing immigration reform and those whose lives have been touched by gun violence. The First Lady also invited Bobak Ferdowsi, known as the NASA's "Mohawk Guy," a member of the Mars Curiosity rover team at NASA and Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Last year, Laurene Powell Jobs was a guest of the First Lady when Steve Jobs was mentioned in the address.

You see, an economy built to last is one where we encourage the talent and ingenuity of every person in this country. That means women should earn equal pay for equal work. It means we should support everyone who's willing to work; and every risk-taker and entrepreneur who aspires to become the next Steve Jobs.

Apple CEO Tim Cook will be presenting at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in the morning.
