Kurt's heritage of the Sea dates back to before he was born. His father qualified for command of, and sailed as Chief Engineer aboard a DDR Class Destroyer in the United States Navy. His uncle started as a career merchant marine officer, but moved on to navigating large aircraft before the days of GPS. He flew aboard the Pan Am Clipper Ships that circled the Globe, and later, for the Norwegian Government helping in their effort to locate the true (magnetic) North Pole.
Kurt first became a sailing instructor with a YMCA camp on Torch Lake, Michigan, and raced "E" boats against the local yacht club. He later sailed more extensively on the Great Lakes and into the North Channel, the Agean Sea and Adriatic Sea. He was even invited to crew aboard the "Liverpool Enterprise" for the first Whitbread race that visited Fort Lauderdale, but had to withdraw before making what would have been his first Atlantic Sail Crossing.
Kurt received a bachelor of science degree from Cornell University, and law degree from the University of Miami. While in law school, he quickly discovered his love of the sea, and focused on admiralty and ocean law courses. After a brief stint practicing in New Orleans in the offshore oil business, Kurt came back to Fort Lauderdale to pursue a practice representing large yacht owners. After 22+ years in this field, he has acquired just about as much knowledge as one can, in all aspects of yacht purchases, construction and ownership. And among his peers in the legal community, he has been given the highest rating for both legal ability and ethics ("AV"), and been voted into the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, every year since 2001.
Kurt has recently added luxury estate homes to yachts as assets he will manage for his clients.
While practicing law, Kurt acquired a Merchant Marine Officer license, and like his uncle, made the transition to aviation by obtaining a pilot's license. He has decided now to utilize his talents to assist his clients in acquiring and managing luxury estates and yachts. Thus his recent move into the brokerage industry.
