After graduating from the FBI Academy, Kuchta was assigned to the Washington D.C Field Office where he investigated gangs and major violent offenders.  In November 1994, he was grievously injured in a gunfight with a violent gang member who was intent on killing officers employed with the D.C.

In 1999, he was chosen as Southwest Florida's Law Enforcement Officer of the Year and, in 2004 he was awarded the U.S. Attorney's Office Law Enforcement Officer of the Year for the Middle District of Florida.  In 2009-10, he was assigned to the FBI Legal Attaché, Bagram Airbase Afghanistan where he oversaw International Contract Corruption Fraud investigations.  Kuchta mentored his Afghan partners in the successful prosecution in the nascent Afghan Court system of a corrupt police chief extorting contractors and conducting attacks on coalition forces.
