Raised carving the slopes of Nebraski, this snowboard-loving, world-saving, Chicago transplant seeks to make a difference by introducing at-risk youth to the snowboard parks of New Hampshire. Yet one bad jump in his dad’s old wool coat twists that relationship all out of shape.  This story of  guardianship in action comes from our October 2013 show, “Parents or Guardians.”

About the storyteller
Ben Graham is from Chicago. He moved to the Bay Area  one year ago, and he has full range of motion in his left arm, which is pertinent to this story.
