KURT's BIO:
Impacting lives and helping clients build a lifetime of financial security since 2012, Kurt spent most of his early years in St. Louis, Missouri. Kurt is the oldest child and has 2 younger sisters and 1 brother. His brother is currently battling a very aggressive form of Leukemia and this inspired Kurt to become more involved with the local Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. During his childhood, he lived in American Samoa for 3 years, as well as Saudi Arabia for 3 years. When Kurt returned to the United States, he attended The Citadel and graduated in 2005 with a BS in Political Science. He earned his Master’s of Science degree in Biosecurity-Emergency Preparedness from St. Louis University in 2009.
In 2003, Kurt met his future wife to be during a trip to Rock Hill, SC and they were engaged in September 2005. In 2006, on a warm April day on Edisto Beach, Kurt tied the knot with his beautiful wife, Megan, who is a Barnwell, SC native. Megan has been working as an Anesthetist at Augusta University since 2011. They have two sons, Drake, 6 and Gage, 3 and reside in North Augusta, SC. Kurt continues to coach his oldest son's YMCA teams including soccer, t-ball and basketball.
Kurt transitioned into the financial world after discovering his passion for helping others with financial planning. He changed his career path in January 2012 and never looked back. As Kurt’s career progressed, he expanded his financial knowledge by obtaining his CLU designation in May of 2016, the ChFC designation in October of 2017 and the CFP designation in November of 2018.
Today, Kurt's passion lies in helping others plan for their financial future and develop into tomorrow's leaders. He considers himself a GO-GIVER and is passionate about giving back to the CSRA community that has welcomed him with open arms. He currently serves as a board member for the United Way of Aiken County and the Midland Valley Area Chamber of Commerce. Kurt volunteers his time mentoring at Belvedere & Mossy Creek Elementary School in North Augusta. In addition to the local chambers, Kurt is involved in a men's fitness group known as F3 and recently spearheaded an expansion of the group to True North Church in North Augusta. He is a 2017 graduate of Leadership Aiken County and Leadership North Augusta. In an effort to give back to his Alma mater, Kurt is an active member of the local CSRA Citadel Club.
From May-October 2017, Kurt volunteered his time as Executive Chair for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Light the Night Walk. Recently, he was asked to serve as the Executive Chair of the American Heart Association Heart Walk from October 2017-February 2018 and gladly accepted the challenge to help such an impactful local charitable organization.
