Irene J Hillman
I had the pleasure of working with Kurt as he wrapped up his career at Westwood College. He proved himself to be a talented artist and motivated professional with so much to offer. Kurt is the type of person who you can truly depend on, and that's a rare trait. If he has confirmed something will be done, you can confidently check that off your list as a task well done. I truly appreciate Kurt's sense of ownership over projects and I look forward to following his activities in the gaming industry as he progresses in his career. I am certain he has a very bright future and will make a big impact in the field.
