Welcome Zachary Curtis to Uniquely You!

Community engagement coordinator

BY ZACHARY CURTIS

My name is Zach Curtis. I am 29 years old and I have autism. I live in Fishers, Indiana but am originally from Michigan. I was born in Detroit and grew up in Southfield which is the closest suburb to Detroit. I have lived in the Hoosier State since August of 2005. We moved here on 8/13/2005, my brother’s 8th birthday. I graduated from Fishers High School, and my nicknames were “Mr. Popular” and “Mr. Nachos Man” because I was friendly to everyone and everyone knew I loved nachos. I am a Christian and was raised in a Christian household. My mom is Zenobia Curtis and I have one brother, Nicholas, who just got married so I have an awesome sister-in-law named Diana. I love spending time with my family and friends. My hobbies are reading, writing, journaling, puzzles, art and working out. I go on runs on the treadmill every day after work. I’m actively involved in Best Buddies, Special Olympics,Thrive Social Club, and Joseph Maley Foundation. I am super excited about being a part of Uniquely You Magazine. I am active in my church and enjoy volunteering and serving my community advocating for people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities.
