11 SUMMER 2015 PTA, and the Pregnancy Care Center. Cur- rently, she is the Treasurer of the Pottsboro Youth Association and Board President of the Pottsboro Education Foundation. She now serves as the CFO for our second company, Graham Truck Centers, which was founded in 2000. In her free time, she enjoys watching her kids play and perform, and spending time on the family farm, where she raises llamas and Alpine goats and works on making the perfect chevre. THE FAMILY I married Debbie Scheschuk in July 1993 and have three children. Luke is 17, Kristen is 15, and Dan is 12. Debbie also graduated from Baylor University in 1991 after being named the Hankamer School of Business Real Estate Student of the Year. In addition to my position at Graham In- ternational, I serve as CEO of GrahamTruck Centers, where I oversee broad management and strategic planning for the company and provide direction for our General Manager. Debbie Graham is COO and works in the company full time. Graham Truck Centers is a dealer for Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin, BF Goodrich, and Hankook tires. One of my greatest opportunities and joys has been to serve as head coach of my youngest son’s football team since 1st grade. I honestly think I get more enjoyment out of it than the kids do. We are blessed to have a great team that had two undefeated seasons, three Super Bowl appearances with two wins. While I have coached my children in football, basket- ball, and baseball, football is my passion. Now that he is moving on to middle school and that coaching staff, I will get to spend my falls bow hunting here in Grayson County. Not a bad consolation prize. While I am an avid hunter, my true out- door love is fishing. I bought my first boat my senior year at Baylor, a 14 foot aluminum boat with a 15 horsepower motor. Coincidentally, my then girlfriend (and future wife) was my partner in the ownership! Soon thereafter I got into competitive bass fishing, and have been doing so since. I have been a member of the Skeeter State Team since 2005 and have won tournaments in various circuits including Media Bass, JCOutdoors, and Anglers Choice. From 2005 until 2010, I was a partner in Trophy Bass Lodge, a bass fishing operation on Lake Huites in the Sierra Madre Moun- tains of Mexico. I also had the opportunity to co-host Bass-n-Mexico, a segment on Brock Ray’s Better Built World of Outdoors. For a year, we filmed shows on the top bass lakes in Mexico including Lake Huites, Lake El Salto, and Lake Comedero. In 2012, Graham International signed its first sports affiliation, with the Allen Ameri- cans of the Central Hockey League, as the official Truck Centers of the Allen Americans. Brett Graham is a key dealer on policy issues for TADA in North Texas, as well as for local institutions, charities and the Texas Association of Business. He and other dealers like him throughout the state are primary reasons that Texas is success- ful economically, civically and culturally. Brett, Debbie and their family, along with almost a thousand dealers in 1,300 dealer- ships statewide are essential to the fabric of Texas.  Federated Mutual Insurance Company • Federated Service Insurance Company* • Federated Life Insurance Company Owatonna, Minnesota 55060 • Phone: (507) 455-5200 • www.federatedinsurance.com *Not licensed in the states of NH, NJ, and VT. © 2015 Federated Mutual Insurance Company Every employer, no matter what size, has to deal with human resource issues, regulations, and employment law changes.
