Curt worked 17 years at Autodesk, Inc. as a Technical Account Manager, working

with large customers in the AEC and Utilities industries before coming to work at

PPI Group. His former experience also includes BIM lead at Critigen, LLC - a

consulting services company and as CAD Production Manager at a full service

AEC firm. Curt earned a Master of Architecture degree, Bachelor of Architecture

degree, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design and Planning from the

University of Idaho. Currently Curt is our newest application engineer with a

strong focus in the Revit softwares.
