Testimonials
20 years of training earns a ton of feedback.
From the OEM side to the shop floor, here is what the people who have worked with Kurt have to say.
Kurt is a passionate and consummate professional who consistently demonstrates ability, creativity and accomplishment. His work is organized and directed with the ability to focus on the tasks at hand while balancing many other items in due course. When he came to Ducati he brought a new standard of expertise in training for Fixed Operations, Technical and Sales training. This strongly elevated the company and enabled growth where there previously it had been limited.
I had the pleasure of working with Kurt during our time together at Ducati North America. Kurt consistently presented himself as a subject matter expert regardless of the topic and had a real gift for connecting with the audience and keeping them engaged. From new product launches to sales training and everything in between I knew I could always count on him to provide my network with the best training possible, ultimately giving them the tools they needed for success. I’d highly recommend him as someone who communicates clearly with constant focus on the end goal, improvement.
Kurt is a goal-orientated professional with a strong sense of leadership and business strategy. Kurt brings with him several years of powersports industry experience which creates a powerful blend of real-world knowledge and solid training methodologies that he has developed into a fantastic training platform. If you need insight, change in your organization, or want to enhance your skillset, give Kurt a call
Kurt joined Suzuki late in the summer of 2016, and for me personally, it was good to have him on board as our Technical Publications & Training Manager. During his time at Suzuki, Kurt provided me with the freedom to do the work I do best. He was never overbearing or unreasonable. Instead, he was always mindful of my professional and personal interests (including mountain biking, which is something we both enjoy), and he was always willing to let me speak my mind. Just as importantly, Kurt would always back me and the other team members when something unexpected arose, which sometimes included jumping in to help. … In short, Kurt is highly intelligent, creative, and exceptionally articulate; he thinks fast and is able to analyze situations and projects very quickly; and whenever he pursues a project or an idea, he is driven to do it well and to succeed.
I was fortunate to have Kurt as my manager in the Technical Training and Publications department at Suzuki Motor of America Inc. for almost three years. Kurt is wonderful to work with and has exceptional expertise in leadership and motivation. His influential personality gained him the respect of the team and everyone whom he worked with. … Kurt’s ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic increase in productivity in our department. … Kurt leads by example and is well-liked and respected by everyone. No matter how tense things got, Kurt always had a smile.
I’ve worked for Kurt at two motorcycle racing events (an AMA Superbike Event at PPIR in Colorado and a World Superbike Event at Laguna Seca in California) as a photographer for his online magazine. He has such a friendly demeanor and an infectious smile that it’s difficult not wanting to get to know him. … Kurt is an incredible guy who is a man of his word. … He never bragged about being fast, because he never had to… you just knew it. … Kurt is highly-driven and is extremely goal-oriented. Rest assured that the time you spend with him will be worth every penny.
Kurt is one of those rare amazing individuals whos drive and energy motivate those around him to give their best. He is loyal beyond believe and has a true caring for people that is all but unheard of these days. Truely a pleasure to know him.
There isn’t enough room to capture my true appreciation for Kurt. As a young student, Kurt took me under his wing to introduce me to a new career opportunity. He helped cultivate my interest in the motorcycle industry and opened the door for me to meet some of the professionals in the industry. … He was passionate, professional and energetic when including anyone in the field with him. … Anyone that can connect to with Kurt needs to!
Kurt is one of those people who knows how to work with e-learning clients who want the power of WordPress without the hassle.
