A native of Salisbury and a graduate of Catawba College, Kirk was elected to the State Senate at the age of 25 and at that time was the youngest in the state's history. In government, he has served in a number of capacities, including Chief of Staff for Governors Jim Holshouser and Jim Martin and U. S. Senator Jim Broyhill. He was Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services twice and also served as the Chair of the State Board of Education and as the Vice-Chair of the State Board of Community Colleges. He has served on more than 150 boards, commissions, and task forces, primarily in education, travel and tourism, and economic development. In 2000 he chaired the Higher Education Bond campaign which provided more than $500 million for capital improvements at UNC Chapel Hill. He was also a member of the UNC Tomorrow Commission and the UNC TV Board of Trustees. He has also worked as a middle and high school English and journalism teacher, a newspaper reporter, radio announcer, in energy services, and in higher education administration. He now serves as the President of the Kiwanis Club of Raleigh and as a member of the Meredith College Board of Trustees, and on the boards of the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching Foundation and Participate (formerly VIF International). At Ridge Road Baptist Church in Raleigh, he is a deacon, Sunday School teacher, and President of the Seekers Class. For his service to the State he has received the North Carolina Award for Public Service and was awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine from three different Governors. He is most proud of his four daughters and nine grandchildren and his reputation for being able to work with people from across the political spectrum. Governor Jim Hunt, a Democrat, said of Kirk, a Republican, "If there is a person who is more involved in the issues, I don't know who it is." .
