Corbin was born July 14, 1989. He spent the majority of his childhood growing up in the mountains of southern Idaho. He regularly caught snakes, lizards, frogs and toads as well as had an exotic animal collection of his own (which included his first lizard named booger)! Always surrounded by wildlife Corbin developed an instant passion for all wildlife and influenced his decision to dedicate his life to it.
At the age of 12 he started Cyprus Hill Reptile Reserve, an educational outreach program specializing in taking animals to schools, day cares, and special events. The majority of the animals used in the program are rescues.
At the age of 14 years old, Corbin made his first appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” as a reptile expert. That very summer he produced and starred in his own show at Zoo Boise called “Reptile Rampage” a show about the consequences of having exotic reptile pets that got too big or mean. It attracted people by the thousands and as a result Corbin developed a great relationship with the zoo and its amazing animals.
Since then he has assisted top zoological facilities where he has worked with all different types of animals including orcas, bottlenose dolphins, beluga whales, tigers, giraffes, penguins, primates, and reptiles.
Corbin continues to visit thousands of people each year through his animal outreach programs. He is known as a local as well as a nationally recognized animal expert, most notable from his appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. He is also a member on the board of The Idaho Herpetological Society.
Now attending Boise State University he is majoring in Psychology with an emphasis in Animal Behavior.
