Kurt began his racing career at 15, after watching the KMS driver take the seat behind the wheel for his entire life. Kurt began racing in the Stock Car class at the Tipton International Speedway and the West Liberty Raceway. After finishing fourth in an enduro race, Kurt decided to keep the number he was assigned for his racing career, #77.

In his first season of racing, Kurt got into an accident at the Tipton International Speedway, where a car ahead of him was turned around in turn four and unable to avoid him, his car drove right into it. Suffering torn cartilidge in his breast bone, Kurt came back the next week to take his first feature win in the Stock Car class, with a blanket resting between his chest and the seat belt.

With just one year of Stock Car experience under his belt, Kurt was put into a Late Model the following season. His first Late Model feature win came in 1999 at the speedway in Memphis, Missouri, and brought home a check for $1,000. It wasn't until 2000, that Kurt was able to take the checkers at the West Liberty Raceway, not once but twice. In 2006, Kurt claimed the Late Model Track Champion title at the West Liberty Raceway.

Kurt is a Virgo, celebrating his birthday September 22. His favorite color is purple, he has a secret passion for figure skating, and he tends to pee standing up. A perfect date for Kurt would be dinner at Medieval Times and a long moonlight drive in a '68 El Camino. During the week, you can find him configuring untested computer programs (i.e. - looking up free porn on the internet) and rehearsing his interpretive dance. Kurt enjoys spending time with his wife, Mackenzie and playing "Dungeons and Dragons." Kurt is the current unofficial World D&D Champion, pending score calculations.
