Dr. Curtis continues to oversee the daily business activities of Agtech (marketing, financial, product R&D) and teaches embryo transfer courses. He has instructed more than 500 students (veterinarians and cattle breeders) in/outside the US in ET technologies.

When not at Agtech, John is partial to enjoying quality family time with his wife, kids and grandkids at Table Rock lake in Missouri where outings are sure to include boating, water skiing, cliff jumping, riding go-karts, grilling thick tenderloins, swimming, and hiking the Ozark mountains.
