A two-time New York State Collegiate Champion, Schulman graduated from Syracuse with a record of 104-25-1, including a team-record 46 wins as a senior.

Schulman is a 1986 graduate of East Brunswick High School, where he was a 123 pound New Jersey State Champion, and currently resides in Princeton Junction. He worked as a volunteer assistant wrestling coach at Rutgers University for six years
