Curt Sawyer, Associate VP, Admin and Finance

Don’t be misled by my limited hair follicles, back in my military days my extreme flattop struck fear in the hearts of our enemies, and way back in the day my long flowing locks were the envy of the community…

My love of war and football movies have been long supplanted by “Pride and Prejudice”, the “Sound of Music”, and “Steel Magnolias”…!

Served with the US Rangers where I made a living jumping out of planes and helicopters, to include training with the French Foreign Legion in Corsica, France and mastering a 300’ rappel in Cheju Do, South Korea.
