ANDREW PARKER
From the heart of Edmonton and beyond we have the chance to chop it up with a hooper, an educator, a strong human, and someone who is motivated to make the world a better place; Andrew Parker.
A Caribbean native and family man, Andrew immigrated to Canada in 1976 and his family made an impact on the local community. It didn’t take long for Andrew to realize he was athletic, however translating that to becoming a hooper was the challenge Andrew was ready for and it took off from there! For those who know, this man is one of the best dunkers in 🇨🇦 history!
Some life choices and trouble meant Andrew had to go to Concordia College to prove he was ready for the U Sport level. It seemed like destiny as all Andrew wanted was to follow the footsteps of his older brother to the University of Alberta and play for the Golden Bears! Andrew worked hard at his craft and knew he was built for all that came and more. From there AP finished his teaching degree, started coaching again and found himself to be a huge positive influence for many in his community.
This episode really has it all, we hope you and yours have a great holiday season and are thankful for Andrew taking the time to be with us!
