In 2006, Curtis Kitchen started his full-time sports media career in earnest with Union Broadcasting (810 WHB/1510 KCTE). Over the next five years, Kitchen built a modest but strong following through his Kansas State on-air and digital reporting, and opinion columns.
Thanks to Twitter’s arrival in 2009, he was one of the first KC-area media personalities to actively engage the new platform – understanding how cool it was to be able to report in-game things and engage with fans on a public stage.
After leaving Union in 2010, he began CurtisKitchen.com – a place where all topics are on the table. Sports? Yep. Public Interest? Yep. Weird stuff like crypto once in a while? That, too.
In his full time, he’s now the Director of Marketing for the 100-percent virtual Society for Simulation in Healthcare. He’s a proud member of both the Kansas City Society of Association Executives (KCSAE – Past President) and American Society of Association Executives (ASAE). He believes in collaboration, diversity, equity, inclusion, and data.
He loves seeing strategic planning sessions become an actionable item. He believes everybody has something to offer. And, above all else, he believes in kindness and fairness.
