He returned to New England, specifically VT, where he ended up working for over 30 years with IBM, and has since retired. He now spends his spare time with his wife traveling and a participating in a variety of community service programs. He’s continued with scouting primarily focused on MNSRAA camp improvement projects. Kurt also volunteers at UVM and has helped develop several programs there to assist students with job search skills and career guidance. His scouting career began as a den leader in 1996 when his son joined cub scouts. He crossed over to the Underhill/Jericho troop in 2000 and later that year became scoutmaster. Kurt’s son achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in 2006, and Kurt continued as Scoutmaster until 2011 and is still active in the troop. Kurt’s biggest passion is backpacking. He’s completed the Long Trail(2005), Appalachian Trail(2012) and is close to finishing the New England 4000 footers. He’s also an avid skier/snow boarder, canoeist, white water rafter... Pretty much anything in the great outdoors!
