Testimonials


"Trevor Corson is a superb speaker whose thorough knowledge about his subject is complemented by his witty and authoritative style of delivery. He's a true professional, wonderful to work with, able to handle anything thrown his way, and we look forward to working with him again."

—Greg McGruder, Vice President, National Geographic Live! & Museum, National Geographic Society


"Trevor Corson was the ideal speaker to kick off our lecture series for the year. He drew an enthusiastic crowd of various ages and delivered a winning combination of comedy, science, and culinary wisdom that enlightened and entertained at the same time. Trevor's personable yet informative style led to a lively question-and-answer period, and his memorable visit helped to engage members of our community in our work and reinforce the mission of our institution."

—Jerry Schubel, President and CEO, Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach, California


"Trevor Corson was one of the most skilled and engaging speakers we've had, and his lecture was a smashing success, attracting an overflow crowd. He also delivered an insightful and constructive seminar providing crucial tips for helping our scientists and experts communicate their work to the public. We plan to have Trevor back again soon."

—Robert Ginsburg, President, Ocean Research and Education Foundation; Professor, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami


"Trevor Corson gave a truly interesting lecture; we enjoyed his talk and personal stories. His presentation was humorous, informative, and very entertaining, and the audience was captivated by both the lecture and the question-and-answer session. Our evaluations from the audience were all positive and enthusiastic, evident by the many copies of Trevor's books we sold and the long line of people waiting for his autograph and to speak with him personally. It was a delight to have him come speak and we hope that he will visit us again."

—Reiko Nishioka, Director of Education, and Wendy Lo, Adult Education Program Coordinator, The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, Delray Beach, Florida


"As our keynote speaker, Trevor Corson kept more than 300 fidgety high school students, their teachers, and university faculty engrossed with his engaging and informative presentation. He was the perfect speaker--I heard directly from teachers and students that the students were talking about his presentation for the rest of the school year."

—Robert Rocha, President, Massachusetts Marine Educators Association


"Fun, erudite, and fascinating, Trevor Corson gave a wonderful talk. He informed us on compelling facts and tickled our funny bone. He is a must-have speaker."

—The Woman's Club, Richmond, Virginia
