A self-made man, Kurt has always believed that nothing worthwhile comes easy. The approach that has been responsible for his success is simple: only through dedication and hard work can you achieve something of value, something that fills you with pride.

After graduating from the University of Calgary with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Kurt gained hands-on experience at Toromont as a Project Engineer in both compression and process, and rotary screw compression.

Recognized as the one who always stays calm under pressure, Kurt's leadership qualities were rewarded with senior appointments as General Manager of Gas Compression at Toromont, and General Manager of Compression and Process at Enerflex. Overseeing operations in facilities for both Canada and Northern USA, Kurt's responsibilities included profitability, staff, safety and quality while supporting growth in domestic and international markets.

Throughout his career, Kurt's most rewarding role has been in providing leadership to the people he works with. It's not surprising then, that Kurt shares the contagious enthusiasm that he sees, hears and feels every day with his fellow Mavericks at Startec.
