Graham Leadership

Graham Leadership

Graham Truck Centers was created by Brett and Debbie Graham to solve a problem for their customers and provide a needed service

As entrepreneurs, they believe it is important to take those same skills and give back to the community to help solve problems. It is a simple concept that came from their families before them: give back more than you take. Through civic engagement and leadership, Brett and Debbie have worked to improve the lives of those in their community, region and state and consider corporate responsibility as essential to the well-being of a community.

Debbie Graham

Debbie Graham earned her BBA degree in 1991 from Baylor University, where she was a member of Delta Sigma Pi and was named the Hankamer School of Business Real Estate Student of the Year as a senior. She began her career after college as a real estate appraiser in Central and North Texas. She has served as the CFO of Graham Truck Centers since 2000 and took on the additional role of CFO for Graham International, Inc., in 2019. With great pride, she and her husband Brett have watched Graham Truck Centers grow from a tiny company with a single service truck, one employee, and 64 tires, into a two-state operation with five locations and 40 employees. Debbie has served on the boards of numerous non-profits over the past 25 years.

Brett Graham

Brett Graham is a 5th generation Grayson County, Texas native and graduate of Baylor University. Brett lives in Denison with his wife Debbie and has three children: Luke, also a Baylor graduate, Kristen, who attends Baylor, and Dan, currently at Pottsboro High School. Since 1993, Brett has operated Graham International, a family business started by his father in 1965. In 2000 Brett and Debbie started Graham Truck Centers to provide additional commercial tire services to their customer base.  Graham Truck Centers has grown into a multi-location operation in two states, and has the unique characteristic of being authorized on both the Bridgestone and Michelin product lines. 

“We have been graciously provided an opportunity to succeed because of the leadership and community service of many who came before us,” Brett says. “For me it is not an option to serve my community, it is an obligation. It is my desire to leave this place better than I found it, to position all future generations to have an opportunity to succeed. That is really all any of us should hope for, the opportunity to prosper.”
