About David Kramer-Fried

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. He 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, he 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 he visits his cousins, or trips to Maine, enjoying the coastal summer experience.

These experiences opened a world that can never be duplicated in a virtual world or with artificial intelligence. David’s love of outdoor adventure, passion for travel, and eagerness to develop his hobbies for outdoor adventures, automobile tech, and the science and art of brewing craft beer add richness and fulfillment to his life.

Reclaiming His Jewish Heritage

Kramer-Fried attended Boston public schools for two years before transferring to a Jewish private school, where he thrived and embraced his family’s Jewish heritage. He made friendships with like-minded individuals and participated in traditional Jewish customs around the holidays.

Today, David is an active supporter of causes that fight antisemitism in America and promotes the education of all Americans about the commonalities and differences between Jewish Americans and other groups. He firmly believes that America’s melting pot of diversity and its struggles with inclusivity begins with developing a better understanding of other people and cultures.

By learning more about his family’s religious and ethnic background, David was able to reclaim his Jewish heritage. He now feels connected to others who share similar traditions and beliefs. Today, Kramer-Fried is proud to uphold traditional Jewish values, including self-reflection and personal growth.
