Eric Curtis, Vice President of Engineering and Technology in the Aerospace Industry Exemplifies Tenacious Leadership

Eric Curtis' mother worked two jobs to ensure her children had a better life. Widowed while Eric was still young, she made sure they attended a school that would get them somewhere. Decades later, Eric Curtis is now Vice President of Engineering and Technology at an aerospace company and sought after as an expert on composite materials. It wasn't just his mother who made a lasting impression on Curtis' character. He also lives by the advice his father gave him in one of their last conversations.

Favorite song: Industry Baby by Lil Nas X.

Favorite words: "How something begins is often how it ends, unless it is acted upon by a force to change its course." That's an Eric Curtis original.
