Kurt is a perpetual gearhead; he has been riding a bicycle since 1970, working on a car since 1978, and riding a motorcycle since 1986. He usually has 3 or 4 mechanical projects going at a time, plus a houseful of things that need to be fixed. He's also a habitual sketcher, drawing pictures of cars, airplanes, and trains in pen and pencil since he was four years old. Kurt and his wife are life-long Pacific Northwesterners and WSU Cougars to the core. When he's not doing technical support or working on his `59 Chevy Biscayne, Kurt is camping, watching movies, or photographing trains and railroad subjects with his sons David and Jack.
