Cheban earned a degree in Communications from Hofstra University. Known to be quiet and studious during his school years, his academic grounding laid the foundation for a career in media and public relations.
Cheban's professional journey began when he took a position with esteemed publicist Peggy Siegal. After gaining experience, he established his own public relations firm, Command PR, where he served as CEO. In 2010, his partner Simon Huck acquired a majority stake in the company.

The two have appeared together in multiple Kardashian-related reality series, including Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, and Kourtney and Kim Take New York. In 2010, he starred in his own reality show, The Spin Crowd, produced by Kim Kardashian. The show, which aimed to depict the behind-the-scenes world of media and publicity, was canceled after one season due to low ratings.
