Personal life
Gluckstein was raised in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, the son of Loretta (née Abke) and Steven Gluckstein, Sr., a Wall Street money manager. He attended Henry Hudson Regional High School. His brother Jeffrey Gluckstein is also a trampolinist who represents America. They perform together in synchronised events. Gluckstein began his career practicing taekwando at his school until the school's closure forced him out of martial arts. Gluckstein's mother subsequently signed him up for gymnastics with coach Tatiana Kovaleva to keep him involved in sport. He competed at national level in his first year of trampoline in 2001, finishing sixth overall.
