Corben taught Physics. He soon learned to adapt to change; at age three the family moved to Pittsburgh for Carnegie Tech. Under pressure from the House of Un-American Activities, they went to Cuernavaca, Mexico for a year; then to Genoa, Italy for two years before relocating to LA. During high school he read everything by Joseph Conrad and knew his higher education would come through traveling.
After crossing the Pacific in a large sailboat he spent several years in Bali. Traveling through India and Nepal led to a year in Amsterdam. Settled back in San Francisco, Corben made numerous trips to Southeast Asia over the years as well as circling the globe once again with his artist wife. He now lives and writes in Northern California.view less
