Eric Nelson

Eric is a DNS specialist. He's worked for the US's largest ISP, managing their authoritative and recursive DNS. He's managed one of the 13 named root servers. Eric has a unique perspective on the life cycle of technologies developed during his career in the Internet industry, building and managing critical infrastructure.

Born and raised in the shadows of the foot hills of Angeles Crest California, he enjoys spending his free time amongst the hills and trails. Eric also enjoys weaving words on subjects, both mythical or historical, as such he practices the art of traditional storytelling. A Celto-phile to the heart, he loves studying and discussing mythologies of or relating to the Celtic culture.

Ask him to tell you a story sometime, but be prepared to listen for a while, always best over a nice ale, or better yet - a home brew. Himself a home brewer, Eric loves trying new beers. As the Irish saying goes, Is túisce deoch ná scéal, a story requires a drink.
