## Biography

[edit]

Chernoff was born and raised in Livingston, New Jersey.[1][2][3] His father, Mark Chernoff, is the vice president of programming for CBS Radio in New York.[4] He attended the Pingry School in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.[3]

He attended Princeton University, where he played shortstop for the Princeton Tigers baseball team. He took an internship to work in the Indians' front office and remained with the team.[1] He served as the director of baseball relations, and was promoted to assistant general manager in Cleveland in October 2010.[5][6] In 2014, he declined an opportunity to interview for the general manager position with the San Diego Padres.[7] After the 2015 season, the Indians promoted Chris Antonetti from general manager to president of baseball operations, and Chernoff to general manager.[5]

He and his wife, Sarah, have two sons and two daughters.[8][1]
