I have had the good fortune of knowing and working with Kurt for over 13 years. From when he was an instructor at submarine department head school, through when we were at postgraduate school together and finally to when we were working on our financial management subspecialties, he has always been, and continues to be, an outstanding officer who is extremely detailed oriented and results driven. He is at ease with senior officers, peers and subordinates and always manages to keep the customer the top priority. I am confident he will succeed in any task he undertakes.
