Coraci was born in Shirley, New York. In 1984, he graduated from William Floyd High School, where he was on the wrestling team for several years. In 1988, he graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. He has directed three successful films with Adam Sandler (The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy and Click) and several music videos for the actor. He worked as an actor in Sandler's video clip "The Lonesome Kicker", playing the character that gives the song its name.
