After his military career, Curt served as Chief Operating Officer for Prison Fellowship, the largest prison ministry in the United States.  Having seen the amazing transformations that Jesus has worked in prisoners’ lives, Curt now looks forward as a C12 Chair to see how God will equip Christian business leaders in Northern Virginia to reach their full potential in the marketplace.
