<para>Kurt first got involved with BSD while it was still a

after personalized license plates became available in Maryland,

he got "BSDWZRD".</para>

<para>Kurt's most well known FreeBSD project was

&man.blacklistd.8; which blocks and releases ports on demand to

enhancements to DTrace, boot loaders, and other bits and pieces

of the FreeBSD infrastructure.</para>
