Early Life
Rosenberg was born in 1967 near Rochester, New York. His father had been raised in an Orthodox Jewish household and his mother was born into a Methodist family of English descent. His parents were agnostic and became born-again Christians when he was a child, in 1973. At the age of 17, he became a born-again Christian and now identifies as a Jewish believer in Jesus. After graduating in 1988 from Syracuse University, he worked for Rush Limbaugh as a research assistant. Later he worked for U.S. Presidential candidate Steve Forbes as a campaign advisor. Rosenberg opened a political consultancy business, which he ran until 2000, advising former Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Natan Sharansky and then-former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu where he garnered much of his information on the Middle East that he would later use in his books.
