Corbett Kroehler was born in the heart of Amish country, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on June 10, 1969 to David and Joan, both public school teachers. In search of greener surroundings and mild summers, the Kroehler family relocated to historic Northfield, Vermont during the summer before Corbett entered the seventh grade. Already active in music owing to the influence of his musical parents, Corbett began his foreign language studies in his third year in Vermont, taking Latin.
Feeling a strong pull toward the sea, the Kroehlers relocated to eastern Maine in 1984, settling in the college town of Orono. In the public high school there, Corbett continued studying Latin but switched to Spanish in his junior year in the neighboring river town of Brewer. After graduating in 1987, Corbett came to Florida in order to enter the Music Engineering Technology program at the University of Miami in Coral Gables. While the courses failed to meet Corbett’s expectations, the climate and year-round sunshine of Florida were most agreeable. His newfound love for the subtropical weather influenced his decision to relocate and he moved to Central Florida in 1989 in order to attend Full Sail Center For The Recording Arts (now Full Sail Real World Education) and pursue hands-on training in the field of record and video production.
Coming to realize that even the most successful members of the record and video production industries do not work 40-hour weeks, Corbett decided to leverage his technical abilities in a growing field, that of computing. It led him first into desktop publishing, then professional proofreading then web development and ultimately information technology project management with an emphasis on green computing.
Today, Corbett advises decision makers on a host of environmental issues related to the climate crisis. Through the space he shares with Nobel laureate and Oscar recipient Al Gore here on KBC, Corbett has become an internationally recognized authority on global warming and is represented by the prestigious firm Celebrity Speakers Associates.
As the co-founder of the Green Earth Expo, Corbett has been invited to speak in a variety of settings and on a whole host of environmental topics, most recently at the University of Central Florida and Walt Disney World.
