I saw promise in his abilities but could never have foreseen his profound influence as a designer and as a leader to the company’s success over so many years. Curt was the most impactful hire of my career, facilitating the growth of MLink and the confidence of its clients, eventually becoming its President after I sold the company in December, 2020. His professional and personal growth while leading as MLink’s Vice President was always steady, present, purposeful and inspiring to our clients, the MLink staff and me. Curt’s energy and stamina were never failing, while his process and organizational skills were indispensable to us all. His quick understanding and mastery of technology and its application propelled us forward through constant change. Always aware of the big picture, while attentive to details, Curt enabled the high performing MLink team - those individuals he and I are so proud of. He drew out the gold in people - their insight, creativity and work ethic - by both challenging and encouraging them. Curt’s aspiration and lasting contribution was to grow each person’s confidence and capability into not only a better designer, but a unique leader, helping each one become their best self. Curt directed our creative staff: instructional designers and writers, graphic designers, animators, video production, interactive web developers and project management. I valued his wisdom and alternate perspectives in potential client engagements, project opportunities and risks. As Vice President, Curt fostered a creative, positive and productive culture of respect, accountability and collaboration, enabling the MLink team to design and build successful and innovative interactive learning programs for its clients. Thank you, Curt, for your timely and open communications, integrity, intelligence and courage. And sense of humor. What a lasting impact you made on me, our staff, our clients and the industry, built in a rich day-by-day journey, 25 years working together.", "Leaders often exhibit different traits and qualities, but it is rare to find one that exhibits several at such a high level. Curt is one of those rare leaders. He exhibits an astounding leadership presence and charismatic ability to effectively communicate a team’s goals, vision, and mission. Curt’s service to his team is always at the top of his mind. I have only observed the utmost integrity and honor from Curt in the time spent working alongside him. It was an honor and humbling experience to have learned so much during the time spent working with him. He would be an exceptional addition to any team looking for a seasoned and well-rounded leader for their organization.", and "I have had the privilege to work with Curt for many years now in several different capacities. He was instrumental in helping me design what has become the top program in the industry. I can never thank Curt enough for the hours we spent debating strategy, concepts and frameworks.

If you have the opportunity to work with him, I can say equivocally that you will not be disappointed."
