Parker joined the Woodsong’s Lutherie team in September of 2020. Venturing out from his small hometown in Wisconsin at 19 years old, he attended Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix, Arizona in the fall of 2018.  After graduating, he moved back to Wisconsin and started an apprenticeship in the evenings after his day job with Andrew Madsen (Madsen Guitars), a luthier who primarily focuses on custom built instruments and repair. Andrew encouraged Parker to get out of Wisconsin and continue chasing his dream of lutherie with Jon Eaton at Woodsong’s.

Parker is very involved in the local music scene in Boulder and Denver and fronts his own 3-piece band, SEMPAR. He enjoys seeing live music and meeting fellow musicians and making their instruments play the best that they can. Parker enjoys working on acoustic guitars, electric guitars and basses and takes great pride in his craftsmanship.
