Matt Larson
Matt Larson started Acme Byte & Wire, a company specializing in
DNS consulting and training, with Cricket Liu in January 1997.
Previously, he worked for Hewlett-Packard, first as Cricket's successor
as hp.com hostmaster, then as a consultant in HP's Professional
Services Organization.
Matt graduated from Northwestern University in 1992 with two degrees:
a bachelor of arts in computer science and a bachelor of music in
church music/organ performance. He lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with
his wife, Sonja Kahler, and their two pugs. In his spare time he
enjoys playing the 10-rank pipe organ in his house and flying light
airplanes.
Cricket worked for five and a half years at Hewlett-Packard's Corporate
Network Services, where he ran hp.com, one of the largest corporate domains
in the world, and helped design the HP Internet's security architecture.
Cricket left HP in 1997 to start his own company, Acme Byte & Wire, with
his friend and co-author Matt Larson. Network Solutions acquired Acme Byte
& Wire in June of 2000, and then subsequently, Network Solutions merged
with VeriSign. Cricket became Director of DNS Product Management of the merged
company, helping determine which new DNS-related products VeriSign
would offer.
