Graham Frey

Graham made his first Henry’s Fork trip in 1998. It was the tail end of a great fishing trip. Graham knew the legend of the water and had a few friends in Island Park, so he knew he could find a couch or two. In three days on the Ranch, he caught two fish. While his friends were despondent and dreaming of the Missouri River, he told them, “The Henry’s Fork is my place – this is the only place I want to fish.” He’s been back every year since.

Graham has spent his professional career starting, scaling, and fixing schools. HIs company, Hallcraft School Studio, is focused on building and doing. He is committed to working on problems – rolling up his sleeves and doing whatever he can to make an impact. Graham has served on numerous boards and understands the importance of mission. The river – an economic engine and an environmental jewel – is delicate. To be a formal steward of the Henry’s Fork is to accept a significant responsibility.

Graham says the fishing brought him to Island Park, but the community kept him. He has built deep relationships within the Island Park community. He cares deeply for the river and preserving it for the next generation.
