Graham Stuart Rupert Stark is, along with Paul Saunders, a cofounder of LoadingReadyRun. His contributions to LRR would be *far* too numerous to list here, but include writing, directing, performing, cinematography, editing, and management.

Graham previously lived with Matt Wiggins in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and with Morgan vanHumbeck and Bill Watt before that in Bill's Place v2.0. Graham attended Oak Bay High School where he was involved in the school's drama program, both behind the scenes and as an actor. Before the start of LoadingReadyRun, Graham made several videos with future members of the LoadingReadyRun crew, such as After Hours: Quest for the Grail, which he co-wrote with Paul for the Oak Bay High Film Festival.

Graham attended the University of Victoria where he studied visual arts with a focus on film and video, though dropped out when he came to a point where he had to choose between continuing LoadingReadyRun and his studies. While attending university, he served as the graphics editor of the Martlet, UVic's student paper. It was in this role that he went to a student newspaper conference in Edmonton, Alberta, where he met his future wife and fellow crew member Kathleen De Vere. It was also in this capacity that he wrote the comic Roomies.

Graham at one point worked in the marketing department of Pixpo, where he was part of the Idiot Room video podcast. He also worked at ICBC (British Columbia's version of the DMV), and it was while working there that he got the phone call that would lead to the launch of Unskippable.

His sister and parents, Kate Stark, Stuart Stark, and Margaret Graham-Bell have also had performing roles in LRR.

Graham has been an enterntainer for every year of Desert Bus for Hope.

Sometime prior to Desert Bus for Hope 6, Graham and Kathleen De Vere became engaged. They were married on July 5th, 2014. They have a daughter, Penelope.

In late June 2022, Graham disclosed during the Hot Poetry Inside episode of LoadingReadyLIVE that he was undergoing chemotherapy for lymphoma. On November 14, 2022, during Desert Bus 2022, Graham announced to chat that he was cancer-free.

Graham also sometimes uploads videos, primarily of his travels, to a separate YouTube channel in his name.

His hat size is 7 and 5/8ths, and his height is 6' 3".
