Introduction

Welcome to my personal web page, where you can find out a little about who I am, what I do and what interests me. I have lived in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA for about 7 years, after spending more than 12 years of my life in a small Louisiana town named Mandeville. As of April 15, 2001 (I give you a reference date, as previously this page went without updates for almost 2 years), I am 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in Computer Science.

About a year after moving to Fort Collins, one of my friends got me connected to the Internet. I soon became interested in the World Wide Web and began writing CGI programs for others to use. That has led to some of my most interesting work, including my own business and some writing in books. I've also had a few other miscellaneous jobs, including working at Hewlett Packard and a paperboy for the local newspaper.

I have a younger brother, Nate, who has an interesting web site. Feel free to e-mail me at mw@mattwright.com, but please do not send business correspondence to that address (this includes anything CGI related).

In January, 2000, my best friend Kristine turned into my girlfriend and we are still happily going out!
