I have been associated with Curtis since 2014. In that time we have contacted him on occasion to trouble shoot our radio system. Curtis has always been prompt to respond to our request and quick to find the problem and a solution. I have always found Curtis to conduct himself in a professional manor and respectful of personal property. I would highly recommend Curtis as an employee or radio service technician.

Curtis is one of the few extremely knowledgeable radio guys left in this world. His work is impeccable and he is eager to teach new comers. He was the brain of the operations at Sierra Electronics, and his move has definitely been felt and proved irreplaceable. If you are looking for competence, customer service and work that is so good it can only be done by one person, look no further!

We at the City of Carson City Nevada contracted Sierra Electronics to assist, install and configure the Public Safety radio voter system. Curtis was assigned to the project, Curtis installed and configured the voting system and the network it ran on as well as supervised several other Sierra Electronics employees. Without the skills and knowledge Curtis has we would not have had this project completed with in the deadline. Curtis was friendly and had our best interest in mind. Thank you again!

Curtis has responded to numerous ELMR site outages, at all times of the night, to repair and return our site to full working service with minimal impact to network operations. He is a dynamic radio technician with an unsurpassed technical acumen. His professionalism and punctuality made it a pleasure to work with him. He is a true asset to any company that employs him and his talents.
