Prior to KU, he worked for many years in a variety of clinical mental health settings before ultimately transitioning into college athletics.
Kraman earned a bachelor’s degree in organizational studies from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in 2014 and a Masters of Social Welfare degree (MSW) from UCLA in 2017.
