Anthony J Alcock

Anthony J. Alcock currently lives aboard his comfortably appointed yacht in Ventura, California. He was born and raised on the outskirts of the large industrial city of Birmingham, England. A few years after graduating in nuclear physics from Aston University, he migrated to the United States to seek adventure and “Pursue the American Dream”.

He enjoyed many years with IBM as the computer industry evolved from its small beginnings. Later he founded and operated several high technology companies and for some six years, published a west coast health magazine.

In his first book, Life at the End of a Rope, Alcock elaborates on adapting to a life on the water in relatively small spaces and learning how to cope with the numerous inevitable challenges, all of which makes for a very friendly and enjoyable lifestyle.

His new book, The Mating Challenge is designed to educate and empower men and women to develop meaningful relationships. The essential elements of this process are accepting the responsibility to understand one’s self and embracing the differences in the opposite sex.
