He graduated from the High School of Music & Art in 1985 and Oberlin College with a B.A. in Art History in 1989.〔Richardson, Clem.

In 2010, Neufeld was invited to act as a representative of the United States Department of State's Speaker and Specialist program, which sends Americans abroad as cultural "ambassadors."〔Cavna, Michael.
