Jeremy Stoppelman, Yelp CEO, Emerce Magazine
I had a great time shooting Jeremy Stoppelman, the CEO of Yelp, for Emerce Magazine. Doing a little research on Jeremy before the shoot, his first job was at @Home Networks (a long defunct Cable ISP). Before I was a photographer I was a network engineer at Cisco Systems. I was assigned to @Home and we would have been working there at the same time. That was so long ago I can't remember much from those days, but maybe we crossed paths.
Sometimes I wonder what I'd be doing now if I hadn't left the tech world back then. Maybe I'd have started a wildly successful company like Yelp and be worth hundreds of millions... or, I might have just started the next GeoCities.
