Meet Curtis in his own words
Curtis introduces himself and the experience he brings to the Assessor’s office.
On the ranch in Adams County.
Raised here. Rooted here.
Curtis is a 4th-generation Adams County farmer, rancher and businessman. He believes in exceptional customer service and open communication.
He joined the Assessor’s office after working in healthcare and customer service, drawn at first by the stability and benefits. What began as a practical decision became a calling. Through the work of property assessment, he came to see how the Assessor’s office touches nearly everything: the stability of housing, the funding of schools, and the fairness of how costs are shared across the community.
While technical precision is needed in this office, recent years have shown how hard it is to operate without the foundation of seasoned professional knowledge. Curtis offers the proven experience needed to return our county assessment system to a common-sense footing.
Restore the fair scale
The Assessor’s office isn’t a temple, but it carries a sacred kind of trust. Every value it sets touches a family’s home, a farmer’s land and the schools our children attend.
“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.”
Setting the tables right
When Jesus overturned the tables in the temple, He wasn’t against honest work. He was against a system that had stopped serving the people it was meant for, where ordinary families paid more than their share.
“My house shall be called a house of prayer.”
Just weights, just measures
An assessor measures value every day. Scripture asks that every measure be honest and every person be held to the same standard — no favorites, no hidden thumb on the scale.
“You shall have just balances, just weights.”
Making things right
Zacchaeus, a tax collector, met Jesus and chose honesty — promising to restore what was taken unfairly. Public trust is rebuilt the same way: by owning mistakes and setting them right.
“If I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.”
Not flipping tables. Setting them right.
Curtis isn’t running to tear things down. He’s running to restore the Assessor’s office to its purpose: equitable assessments, clear explanations, faster answers and an office that remembers who it serves.
