Early life
[edit]Gerald A. Krummel was born in Walla Walla, Washington, and later earned a degree at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah.[1][2] He then graduated from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon with a masters in teaching degree.[1] Following college he began working as a school athletic trainer, first for the Portland Public Schools and then at Lewis & Clark.[1] Krummel then became the head of the training program at Western Oregon State College (now Western Oregon University) in Monmouth before starting his own athletic training business in 1990.[1]
Political career
