What I Have Learned

What people are saying.

As Chairman of the Board, I worked with Kurtis closely...He is a strategic thinker, visionary, and a strong leader. His ability to work with many different levels within an organization is a great strength. He is trustworthy and a man of integrity. He has my utmost respect. I highly recommend him.

— Beth Leaf (CrossingHOME, now R.A.I.N. Homes)

Kurtis is excellent at everything he does. He is vision-oriented and can see the potential in a person or organization, and then he's also very adept and helping that person or organization reach that potential, grow and succeed. When I first started working with him, I was just starting a local non-profit, and Kurtis coached me to get established and start moving in the right direction. He's also an excellent communicator in all settings—from one-on-one meetings, to small groups, to large presentations. Kurtis has made a significant impact on my success, and I'm very grateful for him!

— Ben Robison (Homestay Director at USA Homestays)

Kurtis is amazing at sharing passion! His love for the mission of the Kingdom is contagious. He gently encourages and connects with ministry resources. He is the kind of person who will always make time for you and will make you feel like you are the most important person in the room!

— Rev. Mark Shockey (St. Peter's Church - Edina, MN)
