Born in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Graham is the son of former senator Al Graham. Raised in Sydney, he attended St. Francis Xavier University where he earned the Blizzard Award and the Larkin Trophy for student achievement. He later earned his law degree at Dalhousie University.

Before entering politics, Graham practised as both a corporate and defence lawyer. He also worked for two years as a special adviser in the federal Justice Department.[1]
