bio

Chris Corbin is the founder of Lotic LLC a water rights marketing and management company that turns blue into green.

This education in conjunction with additional experience as a project manager at the Montana Water Trust, a water right specialist at PBS&J, and a guerilla marketer at Big Sky Brewing Company, led him to pursue an entrepreneurial vision for Lotic. As founder of Lotic, Chris has provided consultation on water banks, water rights asset management, water marketing plans, water capital improvements, water rights audits, water rights valuations, mitigation plans, and water rights brokerage. As a result of his early success in the emerging water market, Chris frequently presents on the topics of water markets and water marketing.
