Born into the family business of home and business remodeling, Kurt quickly, naturally and intuitively took to and acquired a skill set that makes him a valuable resource to those he works with. I have had the opportunity to work with my nephew Kurt on a number of projects, both family and non-family related construction projects. Without hesitation, I would recommend Kurt based on his experience, understanding and knowledge base of the technical aspects of hardware.
