My name is Dan Kramer, and I currently serve as the Executive Director for the State Firefighters and Fire Marshals Association of Texas. In my previous roles, I have been deeply involved in the emergency management and firefighting industries. I was the Assistant Fire Chief for the City of Schertz, the Deputy Fire Chief for Hays County ESD #3, and the City of Windcrest's Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator. I also contribute to the field as an educator for the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service and San Antonio College.

My career has spanned various industries, which has equipped me with a diverse skill set and a strong work ethic. I am adept at applying the wealth of experience I have gained to real-world situations. I hold a Master's in Public Administration with an emphasis on Emergency Management (December 2019) from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX, a Bachelor's degree in Emergency Management Administration (May 2017) from West Texas A&M University in Canyon, TX, and my Associate's in Fire Protection Technologies (May 2016) from Austin Community College in Austin, TX. I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Fire and Emergency Management from Oklahoma State University.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending quality time with my beautiful wife and three incredible children. They are my constant source of inspiration and motivation.
