Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, Schein was a pioneer in the development of educational television and radio in New York State.

In 1955, Schein came to Schenectady and served as associate producer and first president of the Mohawk-Hudson Council on Educational Television, where he produced instructional programs for in-school use broadcast over WRGB-TV.
