Curtis and Tabatha are parents of three Covenant Christian High School alumni—Sydney, Aubrey, and Nolan— who also attended Kingsway Christian School (now Indianapolis Christian Schools) through 8th grade. Upon graduating from Covenant Christian High School, all three also attended Purdue University.
Curtis, born in Texas near Galveston Island, met Tabatha during a summer between his college years. He transferred from Abilene Christian University to Western Michigan University to be close to her, earning a double major in mathematics and secondary education. He started as a high school teacher and coach, then attended Valparaiso University Law School, graduating near the top. He worked two years at the Indiana Supreme Court before joining Bose McKinney & Evans LLP, as a business litigator and mediator. Curtis sees himself as a peacemaker and problem solver, serving on boards like Hope Healthcare Center and Indianapolis Christian Schools, where he was Board Chair. He’s also coached baseball at CCHS for five seasons, including a 2023 state championship run.
Tabatha, raised in Michigan in a Christian home, earned a biology degree from Western Michigan University. She married Curtis, started teaching at a Michigan high school, then moved to Indiana. She worked at Chesterton High and later at IUPUI on her master's in science education. She’s taught biology and chemistry at Apologia Academy and joined CCHS in 2015, teaching science and serving as HOSA advisor, growing the group to 23% of students.
