WEALWRIGHT

Curt Byers is founder and CEO of Wealwright. 

Curt became a pioneer in dot com-era digital and online media when, as a pastor, he proposed and consulted on the launch of Christianity Online, the highly profitable content partnership  between leading evangelical market magazine publisher Christianity Today Inc.  and  AOL. This resulted in his early hire by Didax Inc., relaunched as Crosswalk.com, to become  the first Christian market web portal to go public in 1999.  

Curt's multiple roles at Crosswalk included Director of Business Development, founding Spiritual Life channel editor/producer and overseeing Crosswalk's volunteer chat monitor program.  

In 1997 Christianity Today contracted with Crosswalk for Curt's services as head planner for the several Billy Graham organizations-sponsored  first-of-its-kind International Conference on Internet Evangelism which concluded with agreement to launch a new online ministry trae association, the Internet Evangelism Coalition.  

Curt cashed out of Crosswalk in 1999 to become a principal and co-founder of several other  start-ups in Christian market digital media and  early  wireless broadband.

Post-dot com crash, and as a self-described dot com refugee, Curt transitioned back into full time people helping as a behavioral psychotherapist with a specialist focus in autism and, later, vocational rehabilitation.  

Starting in 2007, Curt  brought his IT experience to bear on disability services  as the inventor of Wireless-Enabled Remote Co-presence (WERC), and founder and part-time CEO of SymBionyx, a remote disability services start-up.  Over a seven year collaboration with faculty and student R&D teams from Messiah University's  Collaboratory for Strategic Partnerships and Applied Research  Curt provided leadership for a series of PA state grant-funded remote disability support proof of concept and pilot projects with leading non-profit disability service providers.  He handed off day-to-day management of SymBionyx to a full time DC-based CEO and CIO in 2014.

In 2018, while launching a new vocational services program for a suburban Philly-area Arc chapter,  Curt designed and wrote the Zombie Resistance Training behavior self-regulation curriculum approved by the PA Office of Vocational Rehabilitation for use in PA high school transition programs.

Zombie Resistance Training is a first instance, and only one module of  a more comprehensive alternative to conventional anger management and anti-bullying curricula called Non-coercive Adversary Behavior Management (NABM).  NABM is also uniquely urban and minority community culture-sensitive.  It is described in detail at the program website https://codeofthestreet.net.

Curt is a School-based Therapist for behavioral health provider Laurel Life supporting an emotional support classroom in a Central PA middle school .
