Early life

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

In 1989, Krummel started his political career when he was appointed to a Wilsonville, Oregon, city committee.[1] The following year he was elected to the city council followed by election as mayor, serving six years as mayor.[1] In 1998, he was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives to District 27 representing parts of Clackamas and Washington counties.[3]

Krummel won re-election in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006, but redistricting changed the constituency to District 26.[4] He collaborated closely with a community group known as Friends of Bull Mountain who have advocated changes to Oregon land use laws.[5] On August 4, 2007, Krummel announced that he would not seek re-election to the Oregon House of Representatives.[6] He resigned his office on August 1, 2008, and moved to Reno, Nevada.[7]
