Watch videos of Trevor speaking ...

Trevor Corson 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 talk based on all his work, entitled “Sexy Lobster, Succulent Sushi: My favorite facts about underwater bugs, raw fish, and the future of our oceans.”


Drawing on his expertise as a bestselling author and professional journalist, as well as his background as a former commercial fisherman, Trevor puts his obsessions with quirky science, weird food, and good writing to use to entertain while educating.


A public speaker with extensive experience, Trevor can captivate an audience of several hundred college freshmen in a campus auditorium, or a group of lawyers and executives in a private room at an elegant sushi restaurant. His audiences always leave with a newfound appreciation for the wondrous world of the seas and an empowering sense that their choices in life—whether to major in marine biology or just to order better fish at the sushi bar—can make a difference.

TEACHING


When visiting a university or school, Trevor often combines a public speech with visits to classrooms to talk about his international career with students. Trevor discusses ways to bridge the gap between science and the public through storytelling, as well as his approach to the craft of nonfiction writing and the ins and outs of getting published. He also discusses how the experience of living abroad and learning foreign languages led to his approach, shaping his perspective on the world in the process.
