A self-described "fat, Jewish maverick," left his native New York at
age 17 for sunny Miami, Florida where he stayed for 25 years. Starting
his career there with cooking hamburgers and managing drive-in
restaurants, he decided to try his hand in radio and was soon
announcing and producing shows. In addition, to his radio gig, he began
editing the weekly Dade County Times-Union, and trying hand at
politics. Upon discovering that Miami was a hub for the dubbing of
foreign films and cartoons, and discovering he had a natural gift for
lip-synchronization, he moved into directing, writing and dubbing
films, television programs, and cartoons into Spanish, French, Germany,
Japanese, Greek, Italian, and Czech. Reuben Guberman continued to write
for film and television until 1968, when steady income to support his
family necessitated a move to editing trade magazines, followed by
running his own business convention and show management firm. In 1975,
he moved to New Jersey where he joined a pharmaceutical company as
sales promotion manager. In 1978, he co-authored a book on
Transactional Awareness, and authored his own tome in 1980 entitled
Handbook of Retail Promotions. In addition, he has authored numerous
articles in pharmaceutical trade journals.
