Kurt's Story

Life Thirty Years,Wow!! It's been an interesting time. I spent about 7 years at Boeing working and getting my degree and since I always wanted to travel I hit the road working overseas. I've gotten around a bit and for the last 12 years I've been in China, currently living in Beijing. I run operations for Evergreen Int'l Airlines, a 747 freighter operation. We also charter helicopters and private jets in the region. I'm married now with an 8 year old son and a new daughter 2 months old. I still stay in shape playing Rugby in the Summer and Ice Hockey in the Winter. Sailing is a hobby and I have a sailboat in Taiwan I tinker with occasionally. I'll probably stay overseas for years to come but I usually get back to the U.S. about once a month on one of our planes so keep me in mind for that reunion. If anybody gets to China, look me up. I live right in the Beijing Central Business District about a mile from the Forbidden City. Update- Been about 5 years since I've looked at this old update. My daughters 5 now and my son is 13. Our family is living in Shanghai now and I'm working for a large charter brokerage company. We charter ...Expand for more
private jets, comercial jets, and cargo aircraft for the Chinese market. Looking back I decided to give up organized sports before I seriously damaged myself but I still make the gym 3 times a week to keep fit. I don't get to make it back to the States much anymore as I'm working for a British company but I still might try to hit that reunion if things work out. New update: After 17 years my kids talked me into moving back to the U.S. so they could attend school in the States. I still work mostly in China but travel now and I'm back working for my old Airline. My wife Hsiang Ling is working for American as a stewardess on the Hong Kong and Shanghai flights so we see each other a lot. We have settled into San Diego and the kids are loving it especially the weather and the cleaner air. Latest 2016 - Always wanted to work for a passenger Airline. I'm still running Cargo Operations, but now for United Airlines for all their Asia Pacific stations. Lots of on the road travel but I get to many interesting places so things are fine. I'm suppose to move to San Francisco soon just waiting for the kids to get out of school this year.
