Justin Pot

Justin Pot has been writing about technology for over a decade. He's passionate about explaining technology so everyone can get the most out of the tools they're using. Justin is currently a staff writer at the Zapier Blog.

Prior to How-To Geek, Justin wrote for Digital Trends, Lifehacker, The Next Web, and MakeUseOf. His work has been discussed by The Atlantic and The Canadian Press. His exposé on scams in Apple's Mac Store here at How-To Geek was covered by John Gruber's Daring Fireball.

Justin lives in Hillsboro, Oregon, which is the heart of the Silicon Forest. There he runs the Hillsboro Signal, a volunteer-driven local news outlet he founded.

When not writing, he loves being in nature, spending time with good people, or watching a little too much television.
