Parker came to the Tigers after spending one season as the goalkeeper coach at North Texas.
Prior to his tenure with the Mean Green, Parker served as the goalkeeper coach at Central Oklahoma.
Before his time with the Bronchos, he spent two seasons at Southwestern Christian University. He has also coached club programs such as the Oklahoma Rangers and Oklahoma Celtic.
Parker played at NAIA Mid-American Christian University where he was a NCCAA All-American and led MACU to a NCCAA National Championship.
In 2019 Parker put together a historic season in net, setting three single-season MACU records in wins (20), shutouts (13) and goals allowed average (0.9). Parker finished the season with 67 saves for a 0.753 save percentage, the fourth-best clip in program history. After conceding two goals in the first match of pool play at the NCCAA National Championships, Parker spearheaded a defense that did not give up a single goal in the final three matches to come away with the championship win.
He led Mid-America Christian to a highly successful 2019 season with a 20-3-1 overall record as the best-ever finish in league play with a 7-1-1 conference mark. On top of winning its first-ever NCCAA National Championship, the Evangels won their first regional championship since 2013.
