LockerGnome

As a memorable face and voice for the world of technology, Chris Pirillo is a personality in whom tech enthusiasts and neophytes trust to answer their tech questions. From his own face-inspired cartoon logo to his real face on national TV, Chris's ongoing efforts have provided timely, accurate, and reliable information to the mass market: PC users, Internet surfers, consumer electronics dependents.

In 1996, Chris Pirillo launched Lockergnome, intent on delivering personality-infused tech answers to a worldwide audience. This Web site now has over 250,000 dedicated daily subscribers and is supported by ongoing advertising campaigns. In 1998, he authored the authoritative book on e-mail publishing - further establishing himself as a thought leader in the industry. In early 2000, he was invited to start hosting a weekly "tech show" radio broadcast on AM 1040 WHO (a Midwestern Clear Channel affiliate).

His presence was ultimately noticed by both talent and executive producers at the cable television station, TechTV. He soon thereafter began hosting "Call for Help" for TechTV - driving a live, interactive, daily program that focused on solving common technology frustrations.
