A native of Hamilton, TX, Larry received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1985

Upon retirement from National Instruments in 1995, Larry returned to Hamilton and saw the
immediate need for high-quality Internet access in the Central Texas area. A few months later,
the first Hometown Computing offices opened in Hamilton and Cleburne. Over time, more offices
opened in Clifton, Gatesville, Whitney, and Carlton, as the coverage area spread to include
almost all of the Central Texas area from Fort Worth to Temple.
Since inception, the company has enjoyed consistent growth. In addition to the dial-in business, Hometown Computing
is a regional leader in web site hosting with 500 domains and 500 user pages residing on the
high-speed backbone.
A widely published author, Larry’s writings on computer-based test and measurement systems
have been found in publications such as ‘Test and Measurement World’, ‘Personal Engineering’,
and ‘Electronic Design Systems’. Some of Larry’s writings have been translated and
published in French, German, and Japanese.
