Between 1994 and 1997, I attended Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Illinois. The school's most famous graduate was filmmaker John Hughes, who would later use the school as the setting of "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Working in the media must have been in the air at Glenbrook North because it was there I developed my love for broadcasting. For two semesters I hosted a weekly shift on the school's radio station, WMWA 88.5FM (re-named WGBK in 1997). During my junior and senior years, I worked for the school's cable access television station, GBN-TV Channel 27. With the help of teacher Vince Pinelli, I produced a number of programs for the station dealing with current events, school happenings, and school sports. I was probably best known for co-hosting a monthly variety show called "Tabern Live" with my best friend Alexander Rubinow. It remains the longest running live show in GBN-TV history. Most nights you could find me working as late as 10PM in the television studio. I graduated from Glenbrook North on June 1, 1997.
