He graduated in 2023 and upon passing the bar, immediately began his career as a criminal defense attorney at The Lanzon Firm.

Parks is a loving son, brother, and friend to many. He can often be found wrestling with his beloved lab, Tee, fishing with his grandfather, Bill Dance, hiking the Smoky Mountains and cheering on the Vols. He is a devout Catholic and attends Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in downtown Knoxville.
