Kurt T. Weber

 
For more than 24 years Kurt T. Weber has been an activist for liberty. During his undergraduate and graduate school years he organized student groups, ran an active campaign for the Kalamazoo City Council in Michigan, spent a summer petitioning in several states to get a third party on the ballot and was a regular columnist for college newspapers.

Most recently, Mr. Weber concluded a decade of service at Cascade Policy Institute in Portland, Oregon. He joined the Institute in 1993 as its program director and was eventually promoted to vice president. Among his responsibilities as vice president were budget and strategic planning and staff management.

Mr. Weber has worked with a number of state, national and international classical liberal organizations, including the Institute for Humane Studies, Atlas Economic Research Foundation, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion & Liberty. In 1992 he traveled throughout Latin America, consulting with think tanks in six countries. Mr. Weber also helped organize an institute in Ecuador and worked with Junior Achievement Argentina in Buenos Aires.

Mr. Weber has over 80 published newspaper commentaries, which have appeared in The Oregonian and numerous other Oregon publications, as well as The Orange County Register (California) and The Houston Post. He also has 150 radio commentaries to his credit.

Mr. Weber was graduated from Western Michigan University with dual degrees and honors in finance and public administration. He holds a masters degree in international relations from Thomas Jefferson's university, the University of Virginia.

A vagabond at heart, Mr. Weber has visited nearly 50 countries and all 50 states. He tinkers on home remodel projects year-round and has taken up softball in the summer. A roller coaster enthusiast, he has been known to jump out of planes from time to time. His pride and joy is daughter Sierra, a budding entrepreneur and saxophone player.
