Graham, or better known as ‘Chook’, co-founded Tick Tax in 2006 and was the principal tax agent until 2016 when he began his transition to retirement and eventually retired in October 2017. Although he still pops in to the office every now and then his presence and knowledge is truly missed by both staff and clients.

Graham is a beloved member of the Semaphore and Port Adelaide RSL where he has also held the position of club president. He’s a tragic St Kilda supporter who fortunately has some spare time during the September finals series to brush up on his Thai language skills so as to talk to his grandchildren who live in Thailand.
