Kenrick Mock is an Associate Professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage and a contributing author. In addition, he has taught at Washington State University, Portland State University, and the University of California Davis. He teaches introductory C++, Java, Visual Basic(r) for non-programmers, algorithms, computer security, and artificial intelligence to undergraduate computer science students across the curriculum.

He assisted in the development of a computer system for study on Alaska sea ice and the atmosphere at UAA's Coastal Marine Institute. Mock worked at Intel as a research scientist and software engineer before becoming a teacher. UC Davis awarded him a doctorate in computer science.
