About Me
I’m Jerry Parker, and I’m a broadcast engineer, software engineer, electronics technician, Code-Monkey, Maker, manager and business owner. I’m lots of other things too, such as a husband and father who is active in his community, who likes to hunt, fish, and enjoy the outdoors.
My background includes 20 years of business ownership, 35 years of radio/tv/software work, and for 15 years I was the Vice President of a firm that provided marketing, emailing, contesting and recurring revenue opportunities for Radio, television and print companies across America and Canada.
Currently I am Director of Operations for a software firm in Dallas that provides software to radio, television and satellite broadcasters around the world. I manage the Support Teams, Customer Onboarding, Special Projects, Technical Operations and special projects, as well as the day-to-day operations of the company. When people ask me who my customers are, I tell them “if you think of a broadcasting company where you have heard or seen their shows, either radio, TV or satellite, they are my customer”. That’s a true statement. 90% of broadcasting companies around the world either have, or currently work with with my company in one form or another.
Another thing I’m fond of saying: “I make my living on the phone”!
