<h2>Early Life and Education</h2>
<p>Max Kellerman was born on August 6, 1973, in Greenwich Village, New York City. He grew up in a middle-class Jewish family and was the eldest of two brothers—the younger, Sam Kellerman, was born in 1974. The two were close during their upbringing and both attended Hunter College High School in Manhattan. Max graduated from the school in 1991. As a student, he had a deep interest in sports, especially basketball, and often imagined himself as a commentator, even playacting the role among friends.</p>
<p>During his early childhood, Kellerman suffered an electrical accident that left a permanent scar near his mouth. After high school, he attended Columbia College, part of Columbia University, where he graduated in 1998 with a degree in history. His educational background and passion for broadcasting quickly translated into a media career after college.</p>

<h2>Early Media Experience and Rise in Sports Broadcasting</h2>
<p>Kellerman's formal broadcasting career began in his teenage years when he hosted a New York City public-access television program called Max on Boxing. The show showcased his deep knowledge of the sport and earned him attention within boxing media circles. His early exposure led to a position at ESPN’s Friday Night Fights in the late 1990s, where he served as an analyst.</p>
<p>In 2002, ESPN gave him his own show, Around the Horn. Kellerman's innovative approach helped shape the program into a popular and enduring part of the network’s lineup. However, after disagreements with the network over the show’s direction, he left ESPN in 2004. Soon afterward, he began hosting I, Max on Fox Sports Net, offering a mix of sports commentary and opinion journalism.</p>

<h2>Appearances in Film and Television</h2>
<p>In addition to his broadcasting work, Kellerman has appeared in several television and film projects. He had a cameo as a broadcaster in the 2006 boxing drama Rocky Balboa and a smaller role in the comedy-drama The Wedding Bout. His comfort in front of the camera made the transition to acting relatively smooth, though he has modestly referred to himself as a “terrible actor.” He also made appearances on the reality television comedy Real Husbands of Hollywood, further expanding his media presence beyond sports commentary.</p>

<h2>Personal Life and Family</h2>
<p>Max Kellerman is married to Erin Manning, a photographer and writer. The couple met while attending Columbia College and later married in 1995 in a private ceremony with friends and family. Together, they have three daughters: Esther, Sam, and Mira. Kellerman keeps his personal life private, and there is little public information about his dating history, suggesting he values family life and long-term commitment.</p>
