Who is Curt Thomas? In a few words, Curt was often times referred as the least likely to succeed. Most times Curt was misunderstood and is judged. Curt would allow those negative words to influence his thoughts and path to success. Countless times Curt thought of quitting his desires to succeed and just give up on life. However, it was during Curt's lowest moments in life that he began to develop strategies to bounce back from failure to success. Curt went from failing the 9th grade to graduating on time with the rest of his classmates at Manning High School.

However, during this tough time in his life, Curt redeveloped powerful leadership skills and personal growth development strategies that cause him to bounce back in all areas. Curt went from almost being separated from the Air Force to being awarded the Airmen of the Year for the entire base. Curt's strategy helped him be selected as their lead character of two commercials and travel the country with a university football team and escort professional golfers in the PGA.
