After a term serving in the United States Marine Corps and getting his combat action in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, he graduated from the College of Charleston where he met his wife Wendy who is a talented interior designer and furniture salesperson.

Graham and Wendy attended seminary in Ambridge Pennsylvania at Trinity School for Ministry. After three years in Knoxville Tennessee they discovered the need to get out of the church and go out in the local communities and preach the Gospel to the unchurched. They realized that there are many people out there that are wide open for the Gospel, but do not find themselves going to a church. So together they formed G3 Ministries which is now home based in Pawleys Island, SC. They are a mission outreach ministry that plants the seed of the Gospel through relationships and earning the right. Graham assists at The Abbey in worship, preaching, discipleship, and youth ministry.
