Biography

Married since 1992 (to the woman who led me to Christ), with two children, daughter (1998), son (2001). I joined the Truett McConnell family in August 2011. I currently serve as Vice President for Finance and Operations and Chief Financial Officer, and as Associate Professor of History and Theology. In my time at TMU, I have served as Associate Vice President of Special Projects, IT and Business Support, and I was the founding Dean of the Hubmaier School of Theology and Missions. In case you are wondering, my last name is pronounced: “graph-uh-knee-no.” I came to faith in Christ at the age of 20. The Lord has sought me to serve Him in both business and ministry for over 30 years. I am also a Cajun who can cook a mean pot of Chicken and Sausage Gumbo! GEAUX TIGERS!
