There, he led his team as the human resources group to recruit and engage a workforce of more than 1,300 volunteers. Curt began his Red Cross work in disaster response and recovery in 2010.
Prior to the Red Cross, Curt served for nine years as a minister with the Church of the Nazarene’s Caribbean regional office, helping both to strengthen local leadership development and coordinate hundreds of volunteer teams that built churches, homes, schools and medical facilities in 20 Caribbean countries. He also served in Haiti during the earthquake response in 2010, overseeing volunteer teams who came to assist with rebuilding.
Curt graduated from Southern Nazarene University and has a Master of Divinity (M.Div) from Nazarene Theological Seminary.
