About Curt

Deep Roots in District 204

Curt has been a District 204 resident since seventh grade when his family re-located to the Chicagoland area.  He is a graduate of both Hill Middle School and Waubonsie Valley High School. 

Curt and his wife, Dina, recently celebrated their 10th anniversary and are the proud parents of Noah (age 4) and Grace (age 2).  Noah currently attends District 204’s preschool.  Curt and his family are active members of Grace Pointe Church in Naperville. Curt’s parents still reside in the same home where Curt and his brother were raised.  His brother, Sean, and his family live in Aurora.

During his 23 years in the district, Curt has lived on both the far south side and the far north side of District 204.  Having lived in the district as a student, homeowner, parent, and businessperson, Curt has first hand knowledge of the needs of the district’s key stakeholders.

As a District 204 graduate and father of two young children, Curt has a strong vested interest in the future success of this district.

District 204’s Impact on Curt’s Life

Curt’s experience as a District 204 student made a profound impact on his life.  Specifically, he credits his teachers for helping him realize his full potential as a student.  In addition, participation in high school sports taught him self-confidence and discipline and provided him with a network of close friends.

As a result of the excellent education and extracurricular opportunities Curt received from WVHS, he was admitted to his college of choice – the University of Illinois.  Four years later, he graduated mortar board (top honor) from U of I.  In 2001, he graduated #1 in his class with an MBA from one of the nation’s top business schools, the University of Chicago.  He is now serving as a Vice President at Morgan Stanley, a global investment firm. 

As both a product of District 204 and an experienced financial executive, Curt brings a unique perspective that helps help him serve both the educational and financial goals of the community.  He is committed to ensuring that his kids and all the kids in the district are given the same opportunities he was given as a student of District 204, while doing so in a fiscally responsible manner.

Curt’s Desire to Serve YOU

Curt believes there is no higher honor than being elected to a position of public trust.  As a public servant, he recognizes his most important task is not to rule, but to serve.  Curt believes strongly in creating an environment where everyone’s opinions are heard and respected; an environment that makes it unmistakably clear that the contributions of each individual matter.  Because of the opportunities he has had in life, Curt feels both an obligation and a desire to serve and improve the lives of others in District 204.
