Kurt demonstrated design talent as a child. He designed his first house at age 17. In high school, Kurt was enrolled in the school's "gifted and talented program" which allowed him to apprentice with a local licensed architect during school hours every week. Kurt continued his design education by earning 2 degrees in architecture from the University of  N.C. at Charlotte, one of the best architecture schools on the east coast. His thesis project for his Bachelor of Architecture professional degree focused exclusively on housing and contemporary residential design issues. After college, Kurt spent about 10 years working 
on numerous, highly complex, multi-million dollar commercial projects while employed at large architecture firms. This gave Kurt the opportunity to work with award-winning licensed architects to further enhance his design experience and education. In 1997, Kurt started his own residential design firm, serving a diverse client base of homeowners, home builders and developers. Kurt is also a champion strength athlete/power lifter and has won numerous titles over his career. He has broken several state & national records as well.
