Long before entering the cultivation space, Curtis developed deep expertise in mobile storage systems — designing, selling, and scaling solutions across healthcare, government, education, and commercial sectors. That foundation would become the catalyst for one of the most important shifts in indoor cultivation infrastructure.
In 2017, Curtis recognized an untapped opportunity:
the application of mobile vertical racking systems to indoor cannabis cultivation.
He didn’t just suggest it — he built it.
Curtis led the creation of the horticulture division at Pipp Mobile Storage Systems and went on to establish what would become Pipp Horticulture, a category-defining brand that helped shape how modern cultivation facilities are designed and operated.
Under his leadership, mobile vertical racking and in-rack airflow systems became industry standards — enabling growers to maximize canopy, improve workflow, and scale more efficiently.
Today, Curtis brings that same vision forward — refined by experience, grounded in today’s economic realities, and focused on what matters most:
- Function over flash
- Longevity over short-term cost savings
- Relationships over transactions
His approach is simple: design systems that actually work — for real operators, in real facilities, under real-world pressures.
