Partner and Chief Technology Officer Justin Pinder was absorbed by the Internet as a young child and was only recently spit back out to co-found EchoDitto in 2004. An avid tinkerer, he is known for taking apart everything he owns—from iPods to air conditioners—and finding ways to make ordinary devices to do things they shouldn't. Prior to EchoDitto, he was part of the Internet team that ran Presidential hopeful Howard Dean’s revolutionary online organizing effort. He graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.Sc. in information systems.
