His parents, being of Jewish ancestry, were among the only people in his family to survive the Holocaust.[1] Sabrin has said "during World War Two, my father, a Jewish resistance fighter in Lithuania, fought for his freedom and his life with a gun. I'm alive today because of him."[2] Sabrin arrived in the U.S. with his older brother and parents in August 1949 and became a United States citizen in 1959.
He lived with his wife, Florence, in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[3] He moved to Florida in 2021.[4]
Sabrin has a Ph.D. in geography from Rutgers University, an M.A. in social studies education from Lehman College and a B.A. in history, geography and social studies education from Hunter College.[5] He has worked in commercial real estate sales and marketing, personal portfolio management, and economic research.[3]
Sabrin is the former executive director of the Center for Business and Public Policy at Ramapo College,[6] and is the author of Tax Free 2000: The Rebirth of American Liberty.

In 2008 Sabrin ran as a candidate for the Republican Party nomination for the United States Senate representing New Jersey, where he faced Republican state Senator Joseph Pennacchio and former Republican Congressman Dick Zimmer.[13] Promoting limited government and noninterventionism, he received endorsements from the Republican Liberty Caucus[14] and U.S. Presidential candidate Ron Paul.[15] He garnered 14% of the vote, behind Zimmer (46%) and Pennacchio (40%).[16] He sought the Republican nomination to the same seat in 2014,[17] but lost to Jeff Bell.[18]
In January 2018, he announced his intention to run for the U.S. Senate again, this time under the New Jersey Libertarian Party.[19]
