Curtis is a successful businessman. Since 1985 he runs a rope manufacturing company, which sells high-quality ropes all over the USA and abroad.

Curt appeared on his son’s podcast in the summer, of 2022, where he shared lots of Roman’s childhood memories. He always supported his son Roman in his idea to become a YouTube, although at first, the comedian wasn’t making money at all. Besides, Curt told a lot about himself.

Curt was married to his wife Sue for 39 years, till her tragic death in 2019. At the beginning of his marriage in the late 1980s, Curt was a guitar player and singer in a rock band. The band did really great shows, and he had a chance to become popular. Nevertheless, this life of a rock star, full of limo trips, girls, and LSD didn’t make him happy. So, Curtis decided to quit it to focus on his family life with his wife Sue and their 2 boys. But he still plays the guitar in his free time. He is really great at it.

Curtis is a very spiritual person. He tells, that before each important event in his life he had a vision of God coming to him. Thus, he made up a decision to start a rope company after he had a vision of God touching him 3 times and blessing him. After that, his life became prosperous and never stopped getting better.

He had a sad dream with Christ approaching him and telling him that he was going to separate him and Sue for a while. Soon after that, his wife died after an accident.

Recently, Curtis got re-married another woman.
