Trevor Corson is a serious journalist and public speaker, but he also believes that learning should be laugh-out-loud fun. That’s why he puts his obsessions with quirky science and seafood to use to entertain audiences while educating them. He speaks around the country, delivering his trademark mix of humor, fascinating marine biology, surprising food history, and practical tips for sustainable eating so that we can preserve our oceans for the future. Trevor draws on his expertise as a bestselling author and judge on Iron Chef America, his experiences as a former commercial fisherman, and his hobby as an amateur stand-up comedian to amuse audiences while delivering carefully researched information. Trevor gives presentations as “The Lobster Sex Guy,” and, in conjunction with sushi chefs and restaurants, as America’s only “Sushi Concierge.” He also presents an enjoyable, general-interest lecture that draws on all his work, entitled “Steamy Lobsters, Succulent Sushi: How We Can Save the Seas Through Sex!” Audiences leave with a newfound appreciation for the wondrous world underwater and an empowering sense that their own choices can make a difference.
