Gary Corbin

Gary Corbin

Gary is a novelist, actor, and playwright in Camas, WA, a suburb of Portland, OR. In addition to his 11 novels, his shorter creative and journalistic work has been published in BrainstormNW, the Portland Tribune, The Oregonian, and Global Envision, among others. 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 the City of Portland. After twelve years with the City, he founded Gary Corbin Writing. Gary is a member of PDX Playwrights, the Portland Area Theater Alliance, the Willamette Writers Group and the North Bank Writers Workshop, and participates in workshops and conferences in the Portland, Oregon area. 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.
