Barney Cohen was born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens, and spent most of his adult life in Manhattan before moving to Los Angeles in 2000. He has a BA from Queens College, an MA from Ferkauf, and is a doctoral drop out from NYU. He's been a Madison Avenue creative director, a soldier in the 32nd Armored Regiment (Heavy Tank), a reporter for The New York Times (and others), and a school teacher. When all that ran out, he became a sporadically successful screenwriter, and he's still at it.
