Mayor Steve Curtis

Biography

Steve Curtis, a resident of Layton City for 29 years, served on the City Council for 10 years prior to his being elected as Mayor in 2005. Born in Salt Lake City and raised primarily in Ogden, Steve was the fourth of seven children, a son of John and Janis Curtis. He and his wife, RaeLynn, are the proud parents of Stephanie, Riley, Austin and Katie.

Having attended Weber State and Brigham Young Universities, Steve started a career in communications that spanned over 29 years. Beginning with what was then known as Mountain Bell but evolving into what we now know as Qwest, Steve established his professional foundation with dedication as a Service and Public Telephone Technician, worked in Supervision, and managed an Olympic Venue during 2002 Winter Games. Upon retiring from Qwest, he accepted the challenge to spearhead First National Bank's on-line banking system.

“To be the best that you can be, you must dream of being more”, is a motto to which his family strictly adheres. It is Steve’s belief that the future will not be created by chance, but by choice; it is not a thing waited for, but a thing to be achieved. This is his foundation and main drive as a public servant.
