After college, Kurt enlisted in the Army and was commissioned a lieutenant through Fort Benning’s infamous Officer Candidate School. He earned his jump wings from the Army’s Airborne School and spent over 24 years in the Army on both active duty and in the National Guard, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel and commanding the elite 1st Squadron, 18th Cavalry (Reconnaissance-Surveillance-Target Acquisition). He served in both Operation Desert Storm and in Operation Enduring Freedom in Kosovo, as well as in several civilian support missions from the Los Angeles riots of 1992 to the 1994 Northridge earthquake. He commanded a reinforced battalion in northern San Diego during the fires of 2007.
He is a graduate of Loyola Law School ('94), where he was a law review editor, and as a lawyer represents a variety of clients in all manner of civil lawsuits. He's a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an group for lawyers who have won trial verdicts in excess of $1 million. He has highly amusing stories about Hollywood-related cases but sadly cannot and will not discuss any of them.
Kurt writes frequently on cultural, political, legal and military issues. His freelance work has been published in The Los Angeles Times, The Los Angeles Daily Journal, The San Francisco Examiner, The Washington Times, The New York Post, and elsewhere, though it is unlikely any of them would admit it.
He has been a guest on The Hugh Hewitt Show, KABC's The John Phillips Show, The Tony Katz Radio Spectacular, PJTV's The Conversation with Tony Katz, The Delivery with Jimmie Bise, Jr.'s and is a frequent guest on, and occasional guest host of, The Stage Right Show. He is also one of the handful of people in the world who have both graduated with a masters of strategic studies from the United States Army War College and had some low budget producers option his terrible, terrible zombie movie script.
Kurt has lived in several exotic, alien and sometimes hostile foreign lands, like Europe, Asia and the San Francisco Bay Area. He now resides in the South Bay region of Los Angeles, where he enjoys its total lack of a traditional cold and snowy winter and its pervasive superficiality.
Kurt's keynotes address a variety of cultural, political, legal and military issues.One of his frequently requested programs involves war gaming strategies for success in business.
