Kurt is GeoEngineers’ CEO and a principal geologist whose many CEO duties include overseeing the company’s strategic planning, business development and profitability. He emphasizes, “My most important role as CEO is to help GeoEngineers adapt to a constantly changing marketplace.” Kurt has overseen projects for Puget Sound Energy, the University of Washington and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation campus and headquarters. An accomplished business consultant, he especially enjoys mentoring staff to help them fine-tune their consulting skills.

Kurt believes that the best way to connect with people is to work side-by-side on meaningful projects, as he does with the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust and ASFE: The Geoprofessional Business Association. He serves on the boards and executive committees of both organizations and currently is the secretary-treasurer of ASFE. Through his service to clients and community involvement, Kurt has created lifelong business relationships for GeoEngineers.

Kurt’s wife, Roberta, is a University of Washington School of Medicine administrator. Roberta and Kurt have two daughters, one in high school and one at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Despite the family’s impossibly busy schedules, they successfully carve out time to explore Europe together—their favorite destination. An adept piano player and self-described fanatical baseball fan, Kurt admits to indulging his “Killer B passions: Baseball, Bruce (Springsteen) and Beethoven.”
