Parker joined Corcoran Reverie, an affiliate of The Corcoran Group, this past April as the Vice President of Marketing after previously serving as the Director of Marketing and Communications for an Alabama-based restaurant group.

Parker also currently serves as President-elect for the Northwest Florida Coast Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association, as well as the Vice President of Membership and Chair for the Northwest Florida Communications Summit. In 2020, he received the Joe Curley Rising Leader Award for the local FPRA chapter and was recognized as Member of the Year.

The United Way of the Emerald Coast’s Emerging Leaders will recognize all of the recipients of the inaugural 40 Under 40 on Friday, September 24, 2021, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm CT at The Place on Beal, and recipients will also be featured in the October issue of VIP Destin Magazine.

Daniel Kodsi, CEO of Royal Palm Companies, spoke about PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter, a project that is taking downtown Miami and South Florida by storm as the most amenitized building in the U.S., situated 90 feet above the ground. "When we started talking about it, we said 'let's do one great building. It has got to survive probably through a couple of markets from the day you launch it to the day you finish it,'" he said, helping to grasp the longevity of time and "developments" that can happen throughout the building of a project the size of PARAMOUNT.

As co-developer of the recently-completed One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects, designed by the architecture genius, he said, "We wanted someone that had no preconception about Miami" as he remembered how Hadid ended up as the one for the job.
