Corbin Cornwell's professional voyage is a compelling tale of entrepreneurship meeting finance. His first steps toward the finance world were taken at the prestigious United Bank of Switzerland, serving as an intern while studying at Texas State University. The ambition to shadow his father's career as a financial advisor fueled his focus on the finance sector. However, the global upheaval of Covid-19 steered him off-course, leading him to chart a new path in entrepreneurship amidst an industry-wide hiring freeze.

Using the boating and watersport skills his father passed on and the business acumen garnered at university, he joined forces with his father and siblings to launch Big Tex Boat Rentals. The hardship sparked by the pandemic became a beacon of opportunity. They've successfully navigated this venture through three flourishing years, preparing for their fourth summer season.

He embarked on his academic expedition at St. Anne's and Monsignor Kelly Catholic High Schools. These formative years were a whirlwind of sports, community involvement, and personal development, shaping him into a balanced individual. Pursuing his higher education at Texas State University, he delved into finance and management, securing dual degrees and a minor in Economics. University life further enriched his journey, with active roles in the student government and holding key positions in the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.
