Key to Awesomeness: A Verizon commercial was Goldberg’s first endeavor. Later on he became the voice of Pablo in the Backyardigans. He played this part for five seasons on Nickelodeon. Goldberg’s next monumental role was that of Greg Feder, who is Adam Sandler’s son in the movie Grown Ups. Goldberg takes great pride in this cinematic role.

Goldberg is currently participating in an indoor lacrosse program in Brewster and is looking forward to trying out for the Greeley team.

He is intrigued by the sense of history in Chappaqua; noting that this is largely due to its illustrious former resident, Horace Greeley.

“I like archeology.” Goldberg said. “I got a metal detector for my birthday. I’m sure there are old things around,” he added. 

Goldberg is looking forward to auditioning for an a cappella group at Greeley.
