He believes that keeping things PEC (Personal, Easy, and Consistent) is the key to a successful business and a happy life.

Curtis Hunton was born way after the time he should have been. He’s a cowboy born in the technology era, and his word and honor mean more to him than anything. When he wasn’t riding 2,000lb bulls both as an amateur and professional, he found he loved electronics. Gained his electronics knowledge from the Navy and worked 10 years fixing “things” in a place he can’t talk about. Had a great opportunity to run the famous “Fountains of Bellagio”. Unfortunately, being in an office just didn’t suit his love for roaming (the range?). Loves going from place to place to resolve issues, figuring out how things work, and fixing them or making them work one way or another. First and foremost, he’s a dad and husband, but also golfs, reads when he can (tech and fantasy). He can’t wait to find a fishing hole, loves to play sports, enjoys running (when his body stops breaking), and tinkers in programing and electronics. One day, he’ll make that cattle-drive if it kills him!

Born and raised in Chicago (GO BEARS!), Debra Haynes has a deep appreciation for good food. Hot wings are king, but she’s down for a classic Chicago Dog, Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, or an Italian Beef Sandwich.

The city girl moved to Iowa and earned her Apprenticeship with Digital Traffic Systems as an Electronic Technician for the Iowa Department of Transportation.

From making spoons in East Glacier Park, to managing a call center in the suburbs, to stumbling into the parking industry, she is ready to cut her teeth at CVPS.

When she’s not taking care of official CVPS business – chasing squirrels, herding cats, spinning plates, etc. – she keeps busy rescuing pit bulls, exploring and sampling at craft breweries, and trying to perfect a recipe she saw on that British baking program – because no one likes soggy bottom. She grew up an Air Force Brat and spent much of her childhood overseas, but she considers Great Falls, Montana her hometown and currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
