Dave Kramer, AKA "Big Green Dave" is Boston Green Academy's Director of Green Programs. He believes in the fierce urgency of now when it comes to centering young people's role in tackling the climate crisis. Prior to BGA, he served for two years as Program Director for a transdisciplinary climate change research program at the University of Texas (UT). Aside from UT, he spent 20 years working with international environmental and humanitarian organizations and as a middle and high school English, US History, and environmental studies / outdoor education teacher in both Cali, Colombia and Boston. He brings all these experiences and a habit of making connections and keeping his eyes and ears open for opportunities to the BGA community! Dave earned a Certificate in Outdoor Leadership at Greenfield Community College, a Bachelor of Arts in English from Dartmouth College, and a Master’s degree in Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School. Outside of school, Dave spends time running, biking, searching for good tacos, and enjoying all that the four seasons offer here in New England along with his cherished family - his wife, daughter, son, and his two best buddy dogs who listen to all his wacky green ideas.
