Curt Wheeler grew up in Lewiston, a small town twenty miles away from Utah State’s Campus. He graduated at the top of his class from Sky View High School in 1998. After a year of study at Utah State University, Curt spent two years living and working in Portugal. While there Curt grew to have an appreciation for the Portuguese people and feels that his experience there will help him in future endeavors.

Curt is currently a senior at Utah State University majoring in economics with minors in Portuguese, mathematics, and statistics. He is currently working full-time and plans to work for a few years after graduation and then return to school to earn a PhD in economics.

Curt in his spare time likes to snowboard, play sports, read, travel and spend time with friends and family.
