Cabot graduated from Otterbein College in 1978 with a degree in music education.  Prior to NBC 4, Cabot was employed as a music teacher for Newark City Schools, as well as a professional singer and actor. Cabot started his broadcast career by working as a radio announcer while attending Otterbein college.  He also received a Master's degree in Voice Performance from The Ohio State University in Fall 2003.

Among the charities he supports on a regular basis are Children's Hospital, A Special Wish Foundation and the Huntington Disease Foundation.  Cabot volunteers his time for Concord Counseling (teen suicide prevention) and serves on the Otterbein Friends of Music Board of Directors.

Since that day, Joel has worked as a producer, executive producer, program director, traffic reporter, sports color man, and talk show host. The Joel Riley show currently airs each weekday 9 am – noon and features the talents of producer Ben Johnson. Joel has been married for 14 years and has an adorable 8-year old son.

Joel became aware of Christmas to Cure Cancer through Becky Fickel Smith, Otterbein’s Alumni Director, and has offered support each year since. This charity has the unique blend of quality music, efficient management, and real passion to fight and hopefully cure cancer.  It is Joel’s pleasure to lend himself to the effort.

Dr. David E. Schuller    

In early 2008, Dr. David Schuller was named Vice President for OSU’s Medical Center Expansion and Outreach, after leading the Ohio State cancer program for 20 years.  This new role allows him to focus on the planned expansion of the university’s medical center which will dramatically increase the physical size of its patient care services and enhance the intellectual environment for accelerating research. Dr. Schuller is CEO Emeritus of the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute and Director Emeritus of the NCI- designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.

He also serves as Medical Director of the Ohio State University Power to Change Lives Campaign.

Dr. Schuller’s academic appointments include being Professor of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.  He served as chair of that department for 21 years until he retired from that leadership position in 2005.  He specializes in head and neck surgery and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and served as an American Cancer Society Professor of Clinical Oncology from 1989-94. His current research interests focus on the development of novel therapeutic strategies for head and neck malignancies.

Dr. Schuller was the recipient of the first annual John Peter Minton, MD, Hero of Hope Research Champion Medal of Honor awarded by the Ohio Division of the American Cancer Society.
