He ranks as the all-time leading goal-scorer in Duke soccer history.

MLS

After graduating from Duke, Curtis was drafted second overall in the 2001 MLS SuperDraft by the Tampa Bay Mutiny.

Curtis finished the 2003 season as the Dallas Burn's team leader in assist. After a third of a season with the Burn, Curtis and Dallas parted ways in 2004.

Curtis retired from soccer in 2004.
