Ever since he was a kid, Cohen loved to entertain people. By age 10, he began making films and performing live shows with his cousin for their family to enjoy.
When he was 11, Cohen saved up money to purchase his first video camera, the Fisher-Price PXL2000, which shot on cassette tapes. At age 12, while at sleepaway camp, Cohen hosted his very own late-night radio show, The Dave Cohen Show, which he'd record on his boom-box using his bunk-mates as guests and live audience members after his counselors fell asleep.
In college, Cohen majored in Political Science and was gearing up to be a lawyer. During his junior year, while taking an intro to film class, his close friend, actor Brad Stoll passed away. This motivated Cohen to change his major to Mass Communications with a concentration in Film and Television, and to follow his dream of becoming a filmmaker.
Since then, Cohen has gone full force at achieving his goals. In 2000, he was hired as an associate producer for a Telly Award-winning debate show at The Catholic Faith Network, formerly Telecare TV, and within a few months, worked his way up to producer, then senior producer, and ultimately to executive producer, creating and running four additional Telly Award-winning shows.
