After graduating from Dartmouth College he served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Turkmenistan, and he and his wife, Lynn, led a Habitat for Humanity build in Chile in 2008. Lynn works as an attorney for the state, and they have a one-year-old son named Zeke. Professor Graham received his Ph.D. in political science at UC San Diego, and he has research projects ongoing in the Philippines, in Georgia (the country), and (less exciting, but still surprisingly awesome) in the basement of the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. When he's not working, Professor Graham likes to hike, bike, ski, climb, and play soccer - and just hang out with his family.
