Jeremy Caplan is Director of Education for the 
Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism. He grew up in Boston with a violin in one hand and a catcher's mitt on the other. Despite being the son of a doctor and a nurse, he veered closer to the arts than the sciences, growing up an admirer of both Heifetz and the Chicago Cubs. Before graduating from Princeton he served as concertmaster of the International Symphony Orchestra in Jerusalem. He then decamped for New York to work for 
The Paris Review, 
Yahoo! Internet Life, and then 
Newsweek. After moving to 
Time, he covered the likes of 
Google, 
Apple and 
Yahoo. In addition to tech and business, Jeremy wrote about cultural trends, ranging from 
carrot-mobs and 
cereal cafes to 
mini-lit and 
life- hacking. He was a Ford Fellow in Entrepreneurial Journalism at the Poynter Institute, a Wiegers Fellow at Columbia Business School, where he completed his MBA, and a Knight-Bagehot Fellow at the Columbia Journalism School, where he earned an M.S. in Journalism. He lives in New York City with his wife and two daughters.
