The Foundation of ARK

Curtis Fletcher is the founder of ARK Of The Family and a public servant focused on faith-driven community impact. After earning a scholarship to the University of North Texas and graduating in 2001, Curtis began his career at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics before moving into real estate and land development. 

Born near Detroit in 1977 and raised by his hardworking single mother and grandmother, Curtis overcame early life hardships through persistence and hard work. His personal journey — including a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ — inspired a commitment to live by the Holy Spirit and serve others with compassion and integrity.

Curtis has a long record of volunteer leadership: Habitat for Humanity, Junior Achievement, All Pro Dads, Special Olympics, Ronald McDonald House visits, Boys & Girls Clubs and advocacy as a Real Estate Legislative Contact. As Executive Vice President of a nonprofit serving Veterans and first responders, he helped provide free PTSD counseling and organized more than 650 complimentary golf tournaments nationwide. Known for creative community outreach — from holiday helicopter appearances at elementary schools to hands-on program leadership — Curtis lives by the conviction that faith, experience, and service equip him to uplift those placed in his path. Jesus Christ and his three children — Kirsten, Ryan, and Addison - A.R.K. — inspire his work.
