About a month ago I received a promotion within my company and as a result they highlighted me within a recent newsletter. Someone called me a while back, asked me a bunch of questions and then wrote an article about me based on that interview. The article was nice, but the picture that they used was a creepy looking executive headshot that they'd taken a while back. By posting the article, I'm opening myself up to tremendous mockery by my brothers - but hey, they live dull lives vicariously through me, so what the heck:

For those of you who know Dave Kurt, he is a hardworking individual with a great sense of humor. Dave has been working for Xerox over nine years, in
various parts of the company that have led up to what is now known as BPS, starting out in what was then, Professional Document Services. Dave is now a Managing Principal, leading the BPS Healthcare and Public Sector team. Dave believes that his most significant accomplishment while at Xerox has been the opportunity to recruit a number of employees who have in turn had a significantly positive impact on the future of Xerox Corporation.

Born and raised in Michigan, Dave resides in the metro Detroit area with his wife and three children. He shares a passion for extreme sports and music. Last summer he played an instrumental part in overseeing a rock concert. As one of the producers of this festival, he worked to bring in over 3000 kids and 75 bands that performed across seven stages. Along with Dave’s drive for excitement is his intensity towards the betterment of today’s youth. Much of Dave’s time is spent mentoring young adults. Dave currently is on the Board of Directors for Project 311 (www.project311.org), which is an organization committed to working with middle school kids to ensure a positive future. Along with Project 311, Dave also leads Fusion, a middleschool youth group at his local church. Dave strongly believes in the guidance of today’s youth and understands the need to acknowledge them. He feels that they are often forgotten and believes that with direction they can be successful under any circumstance. Described by his peers as high energy, passionate, authentic and loyal, Dave knows how to spice things up here at XGS.
