ON THE PERSONAL SIDE

Parker spent most of his early life exploring and water skiing the bayous of southeast Louisiana, playing soccer, hunting with his dad, and eating lots of good Cajun food. He brought some of this unique culture with him to Denver and hosts an annual crawfish boil for clients of the firm where he flies in 350lbs. of gulf shrimp and crawfish. It’s an event not to miss!

He also loves to travel with his wife, Kelsi, camp with the family, serve locally, read, play sports, and hunt with friends.
