About Gary |
|
Gary Corbin is a freelance writer and consultant in Vancouver, WA, a suburb of Portland, OR. In addition to assignment work for private sector, government, and not-for-profit clients, his creative and journalistic work has been published in BrainstormNW, the Portland Tribune, The Oregonian, and Global Envision, among others. Gary is currently seeking representation for two completed novels: · Lying in Judgment tells the story of a man serving on the jury for a murder trial that he, himself, committed. · The Mountain Man’s Dog tells the story of a man who is afraid of dogs and women—not necessarily in that order—who gets entangled with both and, reluctantly, in the dirty world of high-stakes politics. |

His play, “PS, I Love Your Daughter,” was performed to great reviews and packed audiences at CoHo Theater in June 2010. Gary grew up in Agawam, Massachusetts and also has lived in Louisiana, Indiana, Washington, DC and Portland, OR before recently relocating to Vancouver, WA. Gary earned his B.A. in Political Science and Economics at Louisiana State University (Geaux Tigers!) and his Ph.D. at Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!), writing his dissertation on the politics of acid rain (1988). He worked on farms, construction, and in food service jobs to earn his way through, so he knows the meaning of hard work. He interned with Argonne National Laboratory on assignment in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Analysis before joining the consulting firm of Applied Management Sciences in Silver Spring, MD. He moved to Highland Technologies, Inc., specialists in document image management systems, managing projects and developing Oracle database systems before moving to Portland to work for PDOT. A homebrewer as well as a maker of wine, mead, cider, and soft drink, Gary is a member of the Oregon Brew Crew and a BJCP National Beer Judge. He loves to ski, cook, and garden, and hopes someday to train his dogs to obey.
