Prior to Metavante, Inc., he worked for Marshall and Swift / Boech as Director of Product Management for building valuation products. When not immersing himself in the real estate market, he enjoys travelling, photography, and sailing. Until now, Kirk has spent his entire life in the Midwest where he enjoys winters that are only slightly above 8 degrees.

What three things could Kirk not live without? Family, places to explore, and problems to solve.

Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.” - Kurt Vonnegut
