SPEAKER:

Curtis is a project management professional with a lifelong passion for high-speed rail and transit. Growing up near train stations, he developed a deep fascination with rail travel, which led him to explore some of the world’s most advanced high-speed train systems in Japan, Taiwan, France, the UK, Belgium, Austria, and Germany. These experiences have shaped his vision for better urban mobility and inspired a career dedicated to transportation. When Curtis first arrived in Vancouver and saw SkyTrain, he set a goal to one day contribute to its future—a dream that continues to drive his work.

Beyond transit, Curtis is deeply committed to education and mentorship. He strives to inspire and support motivated professionals in making meaningful contributions to Canada’s transit landscape, helping shape the future of urban mobility.
