Curtis White

A native of Shirland, IL, population 916, Curtis is more than just Upward’s new Director of Construction, charged with overseeing and handcrafting our quirky collection of both new-build and and adaptively-reused and restored local landmarks. He’s also the king of Dad Jokes, never afraid to construct a terrible pun or a real knee-slapper no matter how much it makes you groan. Outside the office, the soundtrack of his life is Dire Straits, he can whip up a killer guac sauce, and you’ll never guess what he enjoys doing in his spare time–working on a never-ending honey-do list.
