Our Team

For the past 30+ years, Curtis has passionately focused his extensive public service and private sector careers on Oil and Energy related transportation project development, capital project delivery and business development activities in the Pacific Northwest and the Mid‐Continent.

After nearly 20 years in the public sector, Curtis joined Red River Oilfield Services, Inc. in Williston, North Dakota as Vice President of Business Development in February of 2015 with a focus on the strategic development of Red River’s business portfolio. His primary responsibility was the growth and diversification of its transportation and logistics programs and assets supporting the Bakken Oilfield. Curtis went on to take the role of President of Red River Oilfield Services, managing the company during the strong economic headwinds of the market downturn that drove a focus on optimization, strategic partnerships and customer service initiatives.

Curtis helped to pioneer the Port of Vancouver USA’s Williston Field Office in Williston, North Dakota that created important economic development and supply chain connections between the International Ports of the Pacific Northwest and the energy and agriculture industries in North Dakota through such key initiatives as the “Advantaged Supply Chain” and the “Vancouver Energy Project”.

Curtis’ first job in the oil & gas industry was in the summer of 1982 where he took a position of “Roustabout” on Alaska’s North Slope.

Curtis and his family now live in Shelby, Montana.

My name is Praneel Rajkumar. I am 21 years old, and I am from Allentown, Pennsylvania. I am currently a rising senior at Penn State University, where I am pursuing a B.S. in Environmental Systems Engineering. My interest in this field stems from my strong desire to help solve crucial global and environmental issues through the use of math, science, and engineering. I also strongly believe that, with the investment of time and research, we can shift to cleaner energy sources to fuel our lives and lead a more sustainable existence.

I have had the privilege of serving as an intern at both Penn State University and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in the summer of 2021, where I performed an analysis into various engineering risks in the energy sector and research into alternative fuels for cleaner combustion, respectively. Both of these experiences, in addition to my university studies, served to only further my knowledge and passion in this field. I am also an active member of the Society of Environmental Systems Engineers, a club for individuals within my major which exposes us to both individuals and opportunities which serve to further our knowledge about global challenges and potential solutions.
