Dan Curtis:  

Life Over the past 10 - 15 years I've had the good fortune of visiting some of the most astonishing sites around the world like the Taj Mahal and the giant statue of Christ on a mountaintop in Rio de Jeniro. And now that my current and primary residence is in Arizona, what could be more amazing to see than the vast vistas of the Grand Canyon! During that same time I feel very fortunate to have met some wonderful people including my ideal mate whom I married in May of 2005. We are both very happy living in the warm Phoenix climate and will always keep a place somewhere nice and warm so we don't have to shovel snow in the winter although we now also have a much cooler weather secondary residence in America's Home Town, Prescott, AZ which is a wonderful place to get away to with a short 100 mile trip from our Phoenix area home. Back at the end of 2003 through midyear 2004 I sampled retirement from the corporate world in order to do a makeover on our Phoenix home but soon became a little too bored so it was back to work for me. After a brief relocation to the Northeast for work through the winter of 2006/2007, and again experiencing the nastiness of the Northeast winter, it became abundantly clear that the greater Phoenix area is where I want to live, particularly in the winter months (I forgot how much I disliked the winters up there!). I am now back to being semi-retired and running two small business that we started a couple of years ago, one a real estate holdings company and the other a muscle car restoration business that takes decades old muscle cars and makes them brand new again. As for kids, both of my children are grown and fully employed in the business world after completing undergrad studies at Wake Forest and Villanova, respectively. My son works at well known food and personal products company while my daughter started off as a second generation IBMer and now works at Deloitte. My son moved back to the Northeast after living in the DC area for nearly ten years while my daughter moved back to coastal Massachusetts in June 2021. They are both doing great and and my daughter now has two children making my wife and me grandparents....life is good! I am still an older car enthusiast and went from dabbling in the restoration business in past years to now owning a full service end to end restoration company that is internationally well known within the collector car world where we bring factory performance cars back to their former glory. A number of our restored cars are scattered around North America including all the way up into Alaska and Canada. I purchased a restoration/hobby shop In the late spring of 2011 and we now have 6 full time employees working on a steady stream of cars that continue to come in each year. Th...Expand for more
