Parke grew up on his family’s farm in Hawthorne, Florida, before moving to Gainesville to study programming and IT at Santa Fe College. While technology remains his specialty, Parke is a people person; he enjoys helping others and hopes to use his skill set to make things easier for the rest of the Road Scholar team. Parke’s drive in life is to learn, whether that means picking up new skills or memorizing dubious animal facts. Outside of work, you can usually find him socializing with friends over a tabletop game.
