Having put his passion for writing on hold for many years while groing a niche food processing business, after selling it to a private equity group, Curt started his second career as a novelist. He writes non-fiction and fiction, often sharing personal experiences from his lifetime not just for the readers enjoyment and interest but in hopes of his novels being passed along to people who may benefit from hearing his life stories.
