WHO IS CURTIS?

In the local community, Curtis is a startup mentor with Winston Starts, a volunteer coach with NC Fusion Youth Soccer, an active member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, and serves on the Alumni Council of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School from which he graduated with a Masters in Business Administration.

Curtis is a proud graduate of Mount Tabor High School (2003) and attended elementary, middle, and high school in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School system. He resides in his hometown of Winston-Salem with his wife and three children.

Why Are You Running?

To ensure Forsyth County’s future remains bright, Forsyth County needs a new generation of leadership to represent the interests of families. Attracting and retaining families is critical to Forsyth County’s future: to broaden the tax base, to make investments in our schools and housing, and to increase the quality of life for all in the County.

In his office, Curtis will ask the following question of every action and expenditure – Does this course of action improve the lives of families in Forsyth County? 

Curtis will be an independent voice on the Board, always treat others with respect, and work together with all constituencies to make this community the best it can be.
