A Time to be Born

After graduation, McCurtis joined the National Guard. He was employed with Coker Builders Construction in Manning, SC for six years and the Williamsburg County School District for 23 years until retirement. As a master carpenter and certified brick mason, he was blessed with the ability to build and fix things. If it was broken or needed to be built, McCurtis was the one to call.
