Snip***

He’s not working class.

His mom is an entrepreneur. His dad is an attorney. His grandpa was the modernist architect and furniture designer Warren Platner, who worked with the firm that, among other things, designed Dulles International Airport and a college at Yale. (There are chairs, literal chairs, named after him.) Graham Platner started up his oyster farm with the family’s financial assistance. And that’s not even the best part.
