Graham Cobb discusses life in Northwest Arkansas and what drew him to the area

Graham Cobb stank at sports so he played in punk rock bands to learn teamwork. He Spent 20+ years earning a PhD in Pizza before heading to Arkansas Business to learn how to engage an audience with content in order find customers for local and national businesses. In late 2013 he entered the Chamber world as COO of the Little Rock Regional Chamber and is currently the President and CEO of the Greater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce where he gratefully serves the community that is home to the world’s greatest Adventurepreneur, Sam Walton. Boasting a rich culture of culinary, arts, and outdoor activities; Bentonville is at once metropolitan, and Main Street. It is both global, and local. He believes Bentonville’s greatest gift to its citizens is that of Widescreen Livin’ - A 360 degree human experience revealing a past, present and future that connects us to nature, to the world, and to each other by organically weaving arts and culture, the outdoors, culinary excellence, and the power of human relationships into people’s everyday lives. Cobb relishes this quality of life as it provides him time to chase fast folks on mountain bikes, enjoy a great meal with his amazing wife Lisa, and soak up precious moments with William (9) and Sissy (6) searching for painted rocks on the Crystal Bridges art trail.
