Meet the owners

Owned & Operated By Kurt and Kathy Hein

Kurt spent over 20 years in a variety of positions with General Motors throughout the US and Europe. Although he enjoyed a successful career, one of the downsides was moving every 2-4 years. His family moved 8 times in the course of his career and sought to establish permanent roots for his family in his home state of Michigan. After years of research, interviews, and exploration of different opportunities, he came upon Christian Brothers while living in Texas. He and his wife Kathy went through a discovery process and decided Christian Brothers was where they wanted to be, allowing Kurt to follow his passion for automobiles and commitment to faith.

 

Kurt and Kathy have four children: Nathan, Nicholas, Alyssa, and Addison. They are very happy to be close to family and enjoy spending time at their children's activities. They feel very blessed to finally be “Home.
