🔥 Meet Our Guest: Curt 🔥
Curt’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. A Columbine High School alumnus, he has led a remarkable global aerospace and defense consulting career. His experiences have taken him around the world, but his heart remains deeply connected to his Columbine community, where he played a pivotal role in memorial efforts following the 1999 tragedy.

🌍 A Career of Global Impact

Curt has spent years guiding U.S. companies in international markets. Despite his high-pressure career, he never lost sight of his passion for self-growth and fitness.

💪 A Reinvention at 60+

Curt took on an unexpected challenge—competitive bodybuilding at age 60. What started as a personal goal quickly turned into a nationally ranked pursuit. At 63, he placed in the Top 10 at NPC Nationals, proving that age is no barrier to ambition.

❤️ A Mental Health Advocate

Beyond his professional and fitness achievements, Curt firmly believes in mental health awareness. From navigating personal struggles to advocating self-love, his journey is a testament to resilience and the power of transformation.
