Jonathan Parker was born and raised in Orem, attending Timpanogos High School where he would ultimately end up student teaching with his favorite teacher. He taught mostly financial literacy during student teaching and worked in the school's store with the FBLA club. During his time at UVU, he worked and continues to work as the assistant director of Simulations at the Space Center in Pleasant Grove. He hopes his new degree in business and marketing education will allow him to get a full-time position in the Alpine School District.
