Curtis spent his early years in Iowa until his family moved to Greeley. He graduated from Greeley West High School in 1986 then attended Aims Community College. Curtis worked for Weld Schools District 6 for 28 years and was a “Jack of all trades.”

Curtis had many and varied hobbies and interests. He earned a black belt in martial arts, and was a talented artist who enjoyed drawing, pottery and model building. He was a wine connoisseur enjoying wine of all kinds, even making his own. He was an active member of the Colorado World War II Historical Society. An avid auto enthusiast, Curtis loved his restored 1955 Chevy Belair. In addition, he was a volunteer with the Forest Service and was actively involved at Trinity Episcopal Church.
