Brief Bio/History:
Kurtesy is a world-renowned Professor in the field of psychology who dedicated most of his time as a psychiatrist, stationing himself in San Francisco for a number of years before taking a journey on the “path of enlightenment” to find inner peace and himself. After suffering career-threatening injuries whilst in the ring as a professional wrestler, he spent the next few months in silent solitude to connect with nature and himself... until now.
