Kurt has been living and breathing analytics and reporting, business intelligence, and data integration for nearly 40 years—the last 20 years of which he has enjoyed working in the Oracle EPM/BI space. Hailing from both corporate and consulting worlds has allowed Kurt to hold diverse positions in a wide range of industries, including food and restaurant, retail, insurance, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing.
As a solutions architect, Kurt specializes in the design, delivery, and support of solutions for both on-premises and cloud-based projects utilizing Hyperion EPM, Oracle Essbase, and Oracle Analytics. Kurt also delivers instructor-led Oracle product training for Oracle University.
A well-received speaker, Kurt has co-presented at ODTUG Kscope18, presented at Kscope19, and has presented at North Central Oracle Applications User Group (NCOAUG) Training Days, Michigan Oracle Users Summit (MOUS), and the Northeast Joint Oracle User Group Meeting (NEOAUG). Kurt is a Board Director for ODTUG and is co-chair of the EPM Content Committee. He also volunteers with the ODTUG Analytics and EPM Communities while serving in various other ODTUG committees and capacities.
When he doesn't have his head in "the cloud", Kurt enjoys a little wind therapy, riding his Harley around Southeastern Texas.
