MEET PARKER
Parker is the founder and lead advisor of the practice and has built his firm around a commitment to stewardship, education, and long-term client relationships. He joined Commonwealth Financial Group in 2014, drawn to its entrepreneurial model and emphasis on independent, client-first planning. Prior to joining Commonwealth, Parker spent three years with Northwestern Mutual, including two years as an intern and one year full-time.
Parker views his role as more than that of an advisor—he considers himself a steward of his clients’ financial lives. He believes meaningful value is created through education, transparency, and helping clients understand the financial trade-offs and complexities inherent in financial decision-making. By managing his practice with intention and discipline, Parker aims to create clarity, reduce complexity, and drive positive outcomes for the individuals and families he serves.
Parker is a graduate of the Military College of Vermont, where he earned his degree in 2013. That same year, he was recognized as New Advisor of the Year by the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) of Vermont.
Outside of work, Parker enjoys traveling and exploring new places, scuba diving, and staying active through martial arts.
