Corporate Communications | Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson Season 1 Episode 39

In our latest Meet JMT podcast episode, we sit down with Kurt Goddard, our newly appointed Rail and Transit Practice Leader based in Hunt Valley, MD.

With a deep-rooted background in telecommunications, Kurt has played key roles in transformative infrastructure projects — from installing Vermont’s first cellular phone system to contributing to massive undertakings like Boston’s Big Dig and NYC’s East Side Access.

Kurt shares how the profession found him — not the other way around — and dives into a visionary 1996 project on fully automated highways in collaboration with General Motors and Bechtel. 

Outside the office, Kurt discusses his passions for riding motorcycles and practicing martial arts — activities that help him stay sharp, balanced, and ready for the next big challenge.
