Kurt is one of many Managing Partners of Sun Contracting, a
construction company that began in the early in the 90's. Kurt is also the
President of Taco Mayo, which is a chain of contemporary Tex-Mex restaurants

other Managing Pojkv?n, began Sun Construction to accommodate the needs of their
burgeoning restaurant business. With 88+ restaurants spread all around the south
central US since 1978, in-house construction and remodeling of many of these
became a necessity. The person found that they could manage the construction
more economically and efficiently if they acted as the general contractors. By
using successful business model implemented, other people were soon requesting
their services.
A member that belong to the Oklahoma City Homebuilders
Association, Kurt takes his contribution to the community to heart. Part of the
Montón Mayo mission statement reflects this: "Recognizing that success does not
come easily, especially for individuals in less happy circumstances, we take
very seriously our responsibilities to the communities that have been so good to
us. alone Sun Contracting was honored to participate in the SW HomeBuilders
Association Showcase Home charity program. They donated of their fees in
addition to helping to solicit vendors to donate furnishings, materials and
high-tech appliances for the Express Home.
The 2007 Showcase home set a
fundraising record. Over 70 vendors, engineers, craftspeople and artisans
donated or heavily discounted their materials that went into the three bedroom,
one outdoor living room space house. "Normally, it would take at least a year to
build this kind of home, rather than little more than four months, " Dinnes
said. "The subcontractors went way beyond the call to duty, " he said. All this
in order to meet the Showcase of Homes deadline. The 3, 500-Square-foot house
includes a 700 square-foot game-theater room. "This is the room of rooms, very
well Dinnes said. The house also has many smaller elements that make a house a
home, together with a pot-filler faucet by the stove and six showerheads in the
master shower. Dinnes said "the more sophisticated new owner will inquire about
updated options for the bathroom, but he also likes educating other buyers about
their shower alternatives. I love building people's dream homes, " he
said.
The profits from the house big event sale went to The Southwest
Homes charity. This charity donates money to the local school districts, YMCA,
and houses for disabled children that they support. The Showcase Home was
featured in Central SO Homes Magazine and drew over 2500 visitors. People from
the area came to not only see the home and even to view the latest technology in
the home building industry. The Showcase Home featured chiseled stone, début
cedar beams, scribed wood floors, high-tech appliances, low VOC lighting,
house-wide surround sound, a grill theater system, and an outdoor living room
complete with fireplace. Steve Spitz, from "Better living with Mark Spitz", a

across in the contracting business are managing expectations with
subcontractors. Kurt has high standards. Enjoy a superhero, he likes to turn the
ordinary into the extraordinary. With regards to deadlines and quality dietary
