Background
Parker joined Austin Wealth in 2025 from Orion Advisor Solutions, where he was a member of
the firm’s outsource trading team. In that role, he worked closely with multiple institutional
advisory firms to manage trading operations, investment tax strategies, and streamline portfolio
management processes. During his time there, he helped introduce new platform features that
were ultimately adopted as client-facing offerings, while also developing lasting relationships
that led to increased client asset management.
He began his professional career at J.P. Morgan in their community financial advisement office,
supporting senior advisors, bankers, and mortgage lenders. As a first point of contact for clients,
he was responsible for onboarding new relationships, setting up investment strategy reports,
and assisting in the implementation of financial plans.

He is currently pursuing an MBA in Finance from the University of North Georgia. In addition to his academic background, he holds a Series 65 license. His early career experience sparked a lasting passion for helping individuals understand the investment landscape and contributing to their financial well-being.
He now lives in Metro Atlanta, where he recently purchased a home. A lifelong golfer, he has competed at every level of the sport and continues to enjoy the game today. Outside of work, he also finds joy in cooking and taking on DIY projects around the house—activities that provide a welcome balance from screens and serve as a creative outlet that sharpens his focus and discipline in his professional life.
