Born in Budapest, Hungary, he emigrated to the United States, first to San Francisco, then, in 1917, to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he was a student of noted art teacher, Adah Robinson.
In 1924, before he received his license as an architect, he worked with Bruce Goff on the design of a residence and studio for their high school teacher, Adah Robinson.
He is credited with designing what he called, "...101 features that we hoped would make an attractive as well as a functional building."
Koberling collaborated on the project with Frank Atkinson and Leon Senter.
His funeral was held at Christ the King Roman Catholic Church in Tulsa.
