He's a man of many titles. For Kurt, his community means the world to him and he wouldn't have it any other way. It's been his proactive approach to business and can do philosophy that landed him on the Who's Who of Costa Mesa.  Whether it's public service as Chairman of Costa Mesa's Parks and Recreation, Liason to the Newport School Board, Board Member of Costa Mesa United, Board Member of the Costa Mesa Youth Sports Council, and  Member of The Tewinkle Sports Facilities Master Plan Committee. If it's happening in Costa Mesa,  Kurt is your connection.

AT A GLANCE

The City of Costa Mesa boasts of being one of Orange County's leading cultural and business centers. Located 37 miles southeast of Los Angeles, 88 miles north of San Diego and 475 miles south of San Francisco, Costa Mesa encompasses a total of 16 square miles with its southernmost border only 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean. The current population of approximately 113,440 has grown from 16,840 at the time of incorporation in 1953. Since that time, it has evolved from a semi-rural farming community to a city with its local economy primarily based upon retail commercial business and action sports industries such as surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. A general law city, Costa Mesa has a council-manager form of government and staff of approximately 580 full-time employees.

Costa Mesa offers 28 parks, 2 municipal golf courses, 20 public schools and 3 libraries. Additionally, Costa Mesa is home to Orange Coast College and Vanguard University as well as Whittier Law School and National University.

 

The Orange County Performing Arts Center, Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert All and Theatre, Fair and Event Center, South Coast Repertory Theater and South Coast Plaza are prominent centers of cultural and economic activity within the City. The South Coast Plaza shopping center is the single largest commercial activity center in the City. The volume of sales generated by South Coast Plaza, on the strength of 322 stores, places it among the highest volume regional shopping centers in the nation.
The 9.5 acre Costa Mesa Civic Center is located at 77 Fair Drive. City Hall is a five-story building where the primary administrative functions of the City are conducted. Also contained in the Civic Center complex are Council Chambers, the Police facility, Communications building and Fire Station No. 5. State Highways 55, 73 and Interstate 405 all run through Costa Mesa.
Costa Mesa residents enjoy an ideally mild Southern California climate. The City’s location provides easy access to many of Southern California’s major attractions such as beaches, mountain areas, high and low deserts, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Palm Springs and Los Angeles with its sports arenas and major league teams. Surrounded by the cities of Newport Beach, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley and Santa Ana, Costa Mesa is in an area where it is wonderful to live and work.
