Biography/Timeline

1971

Kramer grew up in the New York metropolitan area. He received his bachelor's degree in American Studies from Cornell University in January 1971. At college and after, he was active in anti-Vietnam war and draft resistance activities,. He worked as a Congressional aide and a writer/editor and Director for several environmental organizations, including the New York event of the national Sun Day event in 1978 and the NYC Energy Task Force, known for its wind and solar installations on low-income buildings.

1984

With the arrival of WYSIWIG computers and software and laser printing, he co-founded the New York Macintosh User Group's DTP Special Interest Group. In 1984 he started Kramer Communications, one of New York City's first start-to-finish desktop publishing (DTP) companies; he sold the company in 1997.

1990

Using knowledge gained in the DTP Business and his early editorial experience, Kramer co-authored (with Maggie Lovaas) an early book on electronic publishing as a Business in 1990 & 1991. The book, Desktop Publishing Success: How to Start and Run a Desktop Publishing Business, sold 25,000 copies in seven reprintings and was widely reviewed, including acclaim as "the Bible of the DTP Biz" by Publish Magazine's editor-in-chief.

1997

Kramer became involved in fax broadcasting and then with Business development, usability and online marketing and promotion for a series of early online startups. In 1997, as he relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, Kramer founded eConstructors.com, an online marketplace for the web design and development industry, featuring "WhoBuiltIt," the first online reverse directory for websites. He built the company with a small international staff, raised angel funding and remained as CEO until it was bought in early 2001.

2001

In 2001, interrupted by surgery for an acoustic neuroma, Kramer moved his focus from high-tech back to his earlier environmental concerns. He approached Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), and entered into discussions with RMI-spinoff HyperCar to advance its concept of a fully optimized, 99 mile/gallon, fuel-cell-powered SUV. He proposed a pre-purchase "demand-pull" model for financing the company. This evolved into what became the California Cars Initiative, which led the successful campaign for commercialization of plug-in Hybrid electric vehicles.

2004

His activities and writing about global warming emerged from his work on plug-in cars as he focused on powering electric vehicles by renewable Energy. He began including the issue in testimony and articles in 2004. After 2009, Kramer focused on writing and organizing about climate change awareness and solutions, working with groups such as 350.org, Environmental Entrepreneurs—E2.org, the Citizens Climate Lobby and the Sierra Club, and advising and investing in cleantech and clean Energy companies.

2006

In 2006, with a conversion by one of the independent conversion companies, Kramer became the "world's first non-technical consumer owner" of a PHEV. He flew that vehicle to Washington DC in May 2006 for the first public viewing of a PHEV on Capitol Hill. Within four years, many of the major automakers began to offer some type of plug-in Hybrid or all-electric vehicle, beginning with the Chevrolet Volt.

2014

In 2014, he started Beyond Cassandra, a "mini-think thank" for projects, ideas, campaigns, and initiatives about climate change.

2016

In mid-2016, he cofounded The ClimateCongress Wikipedia Project, a 501(c)3 project to assemble on an independent wiki what candidates and incumbents in the House and Senate say and do about climate change. The project, with volunteers, a core team, and crowdsourcers, aims to identify a subset of information to move eventually to Wikipedia. It expects to evolve into ClimatePolitics, expanding to state, regional and local officeholders and appointees. In late 2016, he founded Climate.MBA, a project to promote Emergency Climate Teach-Ins at Business schools.
