He's also the founder of Cockos Incorporated which creates music production and development software such as the REAPER digital... audio workstation, the NINJAM collaborative music tool and the Jesusonic expandable effects processor. In 2002, he was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35. Justin Frankel was born in 1978 and grew up in Sedona, Arizona. His father, Charles, was a lawyer, and his mother, Kathleen, worked as a rural mail carrier and in a health food store. Justin had an aptitude for computers at an early age. His skill eventually led him to running the student computer network of Verde Valley School he attended, as well as writing an email application for the students. He also wrote a keystroke logging program that could record keystrokes of people using those computers, though he claims to have not actually used it. While in high school he started using the moniker Nullsoft for his software.
