Kurt and his wife Celeste have loved the Leavenworth and Upper Valley area for years, enjoying time with their kids and eventually buying land in the area back in 2005. They made Leavenworth their full-time home in 2017.  Before retiring to the area, Kurt spent a career in management and leadership in the technology sector, launching start-ups as well as working for larger companies, like Deliotte, and most recently a 16-year career at Microsoft. After spending years helping with charities like the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the American Diabetes Association, and Boy Scouts of America, they are both now excited to engage and volunteer helping others in the Upper Valley and Leavenworth community.  Both Celeste and Kurt spend their free time enjoying life outdoors, traveling, participating in triathlons, and sharing their love of the Upper Valley with friends and family.
