He then attended Southwestern Technical College receiving his Insurance Service Associate Degree in 1997. Kurt’s first job was laboring hard for his brother-in-law at Redwood Industries, but he discovered his talent was efficiently processing Medicare claims for Wisconsin Physicians Service and UCare Minnesota. He had brief stints at Optum Services, Talon Innovations, Zeiss Vision and Grand Casino. Since 2019 he was an assembler at Ichor Systems in Sauk Rapids. No matter where he worked, he was loved by his co-workers and he cherished the friends he made at those workplaces. Kurt loved to humor others and brought smiles and joy to many. He enjoyed cheering for the Pierz Pioneers and any teams that his friends' kids played for. He gladly put on many miles traveling to places like Shakopee, Delano and Bemidji. Traveling to Major League Baseball parks with his Uncle Rich and various friends was another favorite pastime along with trips to various destinations around the country.
