| Personal History | Chaos was the only constant in Kurt Bishop's upbringing. The family lived near Taos, New Mexico. Kurt’s mother was the local gossip. She wanted to know everyone’s business. This made it hard for Kurt to make friends as the children soon figured out that Kurt’s mother would get information about their parents for gossip. His father worked as a belt miner. His pay was good, but he was almost never home with his family. When Kurt’s father did come home, he often got drunk and sometimes arrested. As Kurt got older, he would often leave home when his father returned from space. The outdoors was Kurt’s open sanctuary. While out in the mountains, he could forget all the problems he had at home. No one sharing secrets or getting intoxicated. Just the wilderness in its own practical form. Kurt became very proficient at hiking and mountain climbing. While Kurt was a gifted athlete, he struggled academically. Kurt was smart enough to do the work, he struggled because he found schoolwork uninteresting. One of Kurt’s instructor’s, Laura Bachman, recognized Kurt’s potential and encouraged him to study what he saw when he was sporting outdoors. With Bachman’s encouragement, Kurt became the top student in his science classes. Kurt applied for Starfleet Academy. While there, he studied the sciences and earned a degree in geology. Kurt also became interested in the martial arts, particularly kick boxing. Kurt was a diligent student but made few friends. When deciding a career path, Kurt chose the security branch. While he loved the sciences, he just was not at home in a lab. He needed to be out on an away mission or on the bridge. |
