Graham Casden
Advisory Board Member
Born in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Graham moved to California as a child and quickly developed an insatiable love for the water. After eighteen years on the ocean, Graham moved to Boulder to attend the University of Colorado. He has traveled far and often and had the privilege of seeing much of the world by the time he finished college. For him, the importance of traveling is in its rewards: knowledge, insight, experience. He learns much about himself, about life and about the world. Graham is a CU alumnus from the Leeds School of Business, a Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) Master Scuba Diver Trainer and underwater photographer with hundreds of logged dives around the world. As a sentient being and small business owner, his goal has been to create products and experiences that enhance people’s lives and affords them the opportunity to witness the same magic he has been fortunate enough to experience.
