NAME: Corby Cookson (37)
TRIBE DESIGNATION: TBA
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Oklahoma City, OK
OCCUPATION: Lawyer
PERSONAL CLAIM TO FAME: I’ve never lost a case in my career as a lawyer. I’ve been a lawyer for about 9 years.
INSPIRATION IN LIFE: My son. He’s just barely a year old but he’s flatlined twice, once at birth and once at 8 months. Both times, my wife and I thought we lost him. But he’s a fighter. And after the second time I swore to myself that I would start to live for him.
HOBBIES: I’m big into exercise, like lifting weights and running, and I’m a big football fan. My law firm plays in a corporate flag football league in OKC, and it’s pretty fun to hang out with a bunch of friends.
PET PEEVES: People who make snap judgements. There is more to a person than just their appearance.
3 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU: Honorable, hopeful, and maybe a little surprising.
REASON FOR BEING ON SURVIVOR: My son. I want him to grow up and to watch his dad win Survivor.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU’LL “SURVIVE” SURVIVOR: My body is my temple and how I’ve taken care of myself for the last 15 or so years has definitely prepared me for this.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU’LL BE THE SOLE SURVIVOR: There isn’t anything in this world I don’t take head on. I’m ready to get started and get this game going.
