A native of Washington, D.C., Shulman moved to Montgomery County, Maryland, after graduating from Georgetown University Law Center. As part of his long-term commitment to supporting public education, Shulman helped create five different non-profit educational foundations to encourage business community involvement in the Montgomery County Public Schools. He recruited 10-20 business leaders to volunteer in each foundation. Shulman, in his role as the court-appointed mediator, also helped settle a 30-year-old desegregation case in Prince George's County, Maryland. In other public work, Shulman chaired the Governor's Task Force on Procurement, which worked to eliminate red tape and increase efficiency in state procurement practices. In his efforts to bring the public and private sectors together, Shulman led the effort to raise more than $18 million from the state, county, and city governments to replace a mall in downtown Rockville, Maryland.

Shulman has won numerous local and national awards for his community work in the county, including the Rockville Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award (1996), Leadership Montgomery's Leader of the Year (1994), and the Volunteer Action Award from the President of the United States (1982). Washingtonian Magazine named him a Washingtonian of the Year in 1982. In 1999, The Bar Association of Montgomery County recognized Shulman’s professional and community achievements with a Century of Service Award.
