Parker Sands

Parker Sands is currently studying Personal Financial Planning at the University of Missouri. He is most passionate about helping people understand how they can invest their money and plan well for their financial future. Parker balances work, school, and working out with spending time with loved ones, friends, and his dog, Ollie. Parker is known by his friends and family as a “Pro Negotiator.” In fact, at just 13 years old, he was mistaken for an adult at the car dealership, just after he helped his sister close a great deal on a car. Parker enjoys the occasional getaway to new destinations, with Japan being the next big trip he’s planning. Above all the investments Parker could advise, one non-negotiable he would advise others to factor in is self-care.
