Kurt’s love of the wine country drives him to seek environmentally integrated solutions to various site constraints such as poor drainage or erosive conditions. Through his project experience Kurt has become increasingly attentive to energy efficient approaches to water system design and site management, including methane capture from wastewater systems.
