ABOUT KURT
​
After losing his father to cancer in 2006, he’s been searching for a way to help others battling the disease.
After fighting a substance use disorder, he found his path to recovery while incarcerated.
While in prison he taught himself how to crochet and started donating hats and other items to church run programs.
In 2018 a friend requested a soft hat for her cousin who was battling cancer and thus The Battle Cap Project took form. He had found his calling and decided to create this free service for anyone fighting cancer. With the suggestion from his wife he decided to create care packages (Battle Kits).
To date over 900 Battle Caps and Battle Kits have been sent to over 21 countries.
He now works as peer specialist with 2 non-profit organizations in Madison,WI. Working with people that have mental health and substance use disorders.
He is a father to a wonderful and energetic (5 yr old) son, and married to an exceptional woman who is the love of his life.
