The Parkstone Story

From tragedy to triumph, the Parkstone story is the story of the Parker brothers.

Beginnings

From humble beginnings in Valdosta, GA, Steve Parker – son of Jake “Big Daddy” Parker & Dorothy “Lil Mama” Parker – had 3 sons with his wife, Debby. Austin, Cole, & Jake were blessed to be raised by the strong men, strong character, & strong support of the entire Parker family.

After being offered a scholarship to play football and pursue a degree at Cornell University, middle son Cole Parker was thrilled to learn that his father had arranged for him to be joined for his freshman year in Ithaca, NY by his older brother, Austin. Austin was set to transfer from Georgia Tech for his senior year as Cole left Lowndes High school for his freshman year of college, departing the comforts of home for the challenge of the Northeast.

Challenges

The small-town Georgia boys would take on the Ivy League together, which meant the crucible of multiple 20-hour drives to & from Cornell. It was then that the brothers would decide on starting a business together as soon as they both graduated. But there were many miles, years, & obstacles to overcome.

After graduating from Cornell, Austin moved to Gardiner, Montana, just outside the gates of Yellowstone National Park. It was there, however, that tragedy struck. While hiking on Electric Peak – a Yellowstone mountain named and known for its dangerous electrical conductivity during lightning storms – Austin fell to his death as he tried to escape an unexpected lightning storm that had ambushed the mountain. He was only 23 at the time.

Evolutions

Devastated, the Parker family collected itself as best it could, hoping that time would heal. After spending a year back home to grieve together with the family, Cole would return to Cornell one last time, to finish what he had started and what his older brother had finished.

Cole graduated from Cornell with a bachelor’s degree in Applied Economics & Management with specializations in Marketing & Entrepreneurship. Having lost his brother & business partner, Cole returned home to begin his career. Shortly thereafter, Cole would found his first company: Parkstone Marketing. “Parkstone” was an homage to the business that he and Austin had dreamt of creating, with the name being derived from the combination of “Parker” and “Yellowstone.”

Ascensions

For years, Cole operated independently under the Parkstone banner. But when his younger brother, Jake, came of age and began to plan his own career, a new take on an old idea was born: instead of the older two brothers becoming business partners, it would be the younger two brothers.

Honoring the past, Cole and Jake began leading Parkstone into the future, creating affiliated companies under the same name and mission. With that foundation set, their cousin, Zach, and their father, Steve would come to join Parkstone as Board Members and partners in their own Parkstone businesses: Parkstone Insurance and Parkstone Financial, respectively. United, these Parker men now protect & propel the Parker – and Parkstone – name.
