Trippi studied aerospace engineering at San José State University from 1975 and left without a degree.

Trippi's work for Howard Deans' presidential campaign became known in the 2003/04 Democratic Party's primary for the 2004 presidential election , which for its use of grassroots support and income from small donations was decisive for later election campaigns like those of Barack Obama .

He wrote a book about it published in 2004 (The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet, and the Overthrow of Everything).
