About

Corey Silvia grew up in Somerset, Massachusetts and has spent his career following an unconventional path driven by curiosity and an unwillingness to sit still. He left high school early, earned his GED from Bristol Community College, and went straight to work — learning by doing, building by instinct.

An early career in technology led him to Apple Retail in Providence, Rhode Island, where he became one of the first Apple Experts in the region. The role sharpened his ability to break down complex technology for real people — a skill that would define everything that came after.

From there, Corey followed a passion for photography into professional sports media. He was hired to shoot the 2014 US Open tennis tournament at Flushing Meadows, where his work was published in the US Open Daily centerfold — photographing Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and other legends of the sport. He went on to shoot for RM Auctions (now RM Sotheby's), photographing million-dollar classic cars for their auction catalogs, and joined Icon Sports Wire as an accredited sports photographer, with work published through Getty Images, Sports Illustrated, and ESPN.

A lifelong passion for motorsports pulled him deeper. After connecting with the Red Bull Global Rallycross community, Corey landed contracts with DirtFish and Bryan Herta Autosport, serving as team photographer before evolving into a race career manager, team strategist, and spotter for Nitro Rallycross. In 2020, he co-drove at the Olympus Rally in the LN4 class, finishing third and earning a podium.

After stepping away from racing, Corey pivoted back into technology — this time as a self-employed CTO, building technology infrastructure and AI-driven systems for businesses. That deep immersion in technology, combined with a lifelong fascination with physics and space, led to an unexpected breakthrough: a novel modification to Einstein's general relativity that describes a previously unrecognized coupling between electromagnetic and gravitational fields.

That discovery — made days before his 45th birthday — became the foundation of EmGravity Propulsion. The theory was formalized, a device architecture was designed, and a US provisional patent was filed on April 11, 2026.

Corey currently resides in Surprise, Arizona, where he is focused on advancing EmGravity from patent to prototype and bringing propellantless propulsion to market.
