Raised in Palo Alto, California, Graham attended Ellwood P. Cubberley High School and played football, basketball and golf. He earned an athletic scholarship and played as quarterback at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB). The riots and social unrest of 1970 led to the termination of his University football program in 1972.[3] He transferred to Foothill College where he attracted the attention of Colorado State University (CSU). As a result, Graham received an athletic scholarship following an invitation to visit Fort Collins, Colorado. He played quarterback at CSU and set the record as the second highest passing yards in a single game in school history in 1974.[4] Graham graduated from CSU with a Bachelor of Arts in history. Then, he was drafted into the National Football League (NFL) by the Miami Dolphins in the spring of 1975. Later, Graham landed in San Francisco with the San Francisco 49ers where he was unsuccessful in making the roster, ending his professional football career.

Natural disastersIn 1992, as Hurricane Iniki hit Hawaii, Graham collaborated with the Insurance commissioner,[7][8] which led to Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund legislation, a local solution to hurricane insurance.[9] Following the 1994 Northridge earthquake that hit California, Graham contributed in establishing the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) in 1996.[10] Then, Graham was invited to join the Advisory Council for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) due to his market utilization of atmospheric data and significant business expertise in managing risk associated with hurricane activity. He sat on the NCAR Advisory Council for over a decade.[11] RecognitionIn 1989 and 1996, Graham earned the E.W.

During his tenure, he proposed the construction of a new on-campus football stadium,[14] led the creation of a sports Hall of Fame, a retail outlet called the Ram Zone, and negotiated contracts with ESPN Radio and Under Armour.
