Curt Stevenson
Curt joins the Waypoint Board of Directors bringing an extensive background as a former software and insurance executive. Having previously served as a Board Chair for two non-profits and currently sitting on the finance committee for an independent school in Greater Boston, Curt offers deep expertise in organizational scaling, investment, and fiscal stewardship.
Curt’s commitment to the adaptive community is deeply personal, sparked by a family member with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. For the past 15 years, he has been a dedicated adaptive skiing and snowboarding coach. He was drawn to Waypoint’s unique model of turning adaptive sports into inclusive group adventures and is eager to help the organization expand its reach and impact.
In his spare time, Curt is working towards his USCG 25-ton Master Captain’s license. Curt and his wife, Monica, live in Boston and have three adult children.
Rachel Musto
Rachel is a non-profit finance and accounting professional who worked in the education sector for many years before moving to consulting, where she was a fractional CFO/controller for several non-profit organizations including Waypoint. Rachel’s professional passion is creating financial models and analyses that become a tool for creating positive human impact and experiences. Rachel grew up next to a state park, which instilled a deep appreciation for the outdoors and the endless opportunities for play that it provides. Waypoint has reconnected Rachel to that passion for outdoor adventure, raised my awareness around accessibility, and served as a reminder of how important adventure is for fostering personal connections and belonging for all.
Chris Smith
Chris brings to Waypoint a strong background in technology leadership and a deeply personal connection to the adaptive community. A cybersecurity executive based outside Boston, Chris has built his career while navigating progressive vision loss caused by Stargardt’s Disease, a rare genetic condition that leads to central blindness.
Declared legally blind in 2009, Chris refused to let vision loss limit his independence. After losing his driver’s license, he began biking to work—what started as necessity evolved into a passion for endurance cycling and mountain biking. Weekends are often filled with riding technical off-road terrain alongside fully sighted riders. As his latest trick, Chris tackled the Tour Divide — one of the most iconic and demanding ultra-distance mountain bike races in the world., following trails along the Continental Divide through the Rocky Mountains for 2,745 miles from Banff, Alberta, Canada, to the US/Mexico border in Antelope Wells, New Mexico.
Chris is passionate about advancing research for inherited retinal diseases. Once told there would never be treatments for Stargardt’s, he is encouraged by the growing number of clinical trials underway and is committed to supporting efforts that accelerate progress for children and families facing vision loss.
