David Kranz is a Fire Captain and Emergency Medical Technician with the Otsego Fire Department & Rescue. Since he was a child he has dedicated his life to understanding human behavior and helping those in need. While serving in the fire service he became a primary advocate for behavioral health in and out of the service. As an alumnus of Grand Valley State University, his passion is to share his personal stories to bring hope and awareness to adolescents as well as young adults who have experienced trauma and hardship in their lifetime. In this effort, he hopes to direct them to a place of peace. With his background in psychology and philosophy, he uses his own personal examples of the rigorous struggles he has weathered to promote resilience, giving strength back to those who need help finding the light in a darkened world; empowering them to share their stories to guide them to healing. David still remains in Michigan with his three children where he continues to serve his community with pride. When he is not making memories with his children he spends his time writing.
