\"23JohbKuzmanich\"Apparently "fiscal and personal responsibility" are for other people. He hasn’t made a mortgage payment in over three years. And the process servers can’t <\/font>find him:<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n

Washington County court records show Kuzmanich is more than three years behind in mortgage payments on a Beaverton duplex.
