Glickman grew up in Howard Beach, Queens and then Roslyn Heights, Long Island, NY. He attended Sands Point Academy through sixth grade, then public school in the East Williston School District, graduating from The Wheatley School in 1973. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA), and received the S.B. degree with a major in Earth and Planetary Sciences in 1977. He studied under Professor Frederick Sanders and researcher Norman Macdonald, with whom he authored a paper on atmospheric convection. Mid-career, he attended Suffolk University (Boston, MA) and received the MBA from its Executive Program in 1988.
While an undergraduate at MIT, Glickman interned at Boston's WBZ-TV from 1975–1977, under meteorologists Norm Macdonald, Bruce Schwoegler, and Don Kent. Since he had radio weather experience from MIT's student radio station WTBS (now WMBR), when Norm Macdonald left WBZ and started the radio division of Weather Services Corporation in Bedford, MA, he asked Glickman to work part-time. After graduation, Glickman spent a year as Safety Director at Pierce Coach Line of Roslyn, NY, a school bus company co-owned with Pierce Country Day Camp. In 1978, Glickman accepted a part-time position with Weather Services Corporation (WSC) of Bedford, MA, and worked various shifts serving radio stations nationwide. Continuing at WSC part-time through 1993, he was heard on dozens of radio stations, including WCBS (New York City), WEEI (Boston), WRKO (Boston), WTOP (Washington, DC), KPRC (Houston), WDGY (Minneapolis), KFWB (Los Angeles), and KCMO (Kansas City). In 1979, Glickman joined Weather Services International Corporation of Bedford, MA, a start-up company in the value-added, real-time weather information business. He held a number of positions there, including Media Marketing Manager, Manager of New Product Development, and Manager of the Government Program Office. In 1993, he joined the American Meteorological Society (Boston, MA) as Assistant Executive Director. In 2000, Glickman joined the staff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Office of Corporate Relations Industrial Liaison Program. He was initially hired as an Industrial Liaison Officer, and was promoted to Senior Industrial Liaison Officer in 2003 and Associate Director of Corporate Relations in 2006. In 2012, he was promoted to Senior Associate Director of Corporate Relations.
