Though currently an Enterprise Architect at QuikTrip in Tulsa, he remains active in the Northwest Arkansas region as a board member for the Ozark STEM Foundation and as a blues musician. His favorite type of work, bringing IT and the business together over coffee and common goals, borrows heavily from his previous roles as a public school teacher, application developer, product manager, cloud architect, enterprise architect, board member, and non-profit co-founder. After two decades in technology, Kurt is still driven by his initial passion: connecting and sharing with people.
