Graham spent his formative years primarily on the East Coast but most recently drove the wagon west from the snowy mountains of New Hampshire and now calls the not-so-snowy mountains of Southern California home. With an eclectic resume of backpacking, climbing, and rafting trips, his current ‘on-season’ gig is as a wildland firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service. He holds a Masters in Experiential Education from Minnesota State University, Mankato and a Bachelors in Music from Bellarmine University. Hobbies of surfing, consuming avocados, pedal steel guitar, and facial hair configurations keep him busy on days off.
