Biography of David Kramer-Fried

David Kramer-Fried Student David Kramer-Fried is an outdoor adventurer and college student. He is studying public health with an interest in epidemiology, a branch of study that examines the causes and distribution of public health concerns from a scientific and medical viewpoint. David grew up in the Boston area, where he has fond memories of neighborhood youth playing and hanging out outside all year round. It was an idyllic time, quite different from today, where video game consoles and social media sites tend to keep young people isolated and indoors. David believes that this unstructured activity time was critical to his maturing because it opened a social world early in life where good decisions would need to be made, peer-to-peer. As an outdoor adventurer, David strongly supports the return to traditional family values that seem to disappear with each new generation. His family still takes annual vacations, like traveling to Palo Alto, California, where David visits his cousins, or trips to Maine, enjoying the coastal summer experience.
