His broadcasting career includes play-by-play for football, basketball and baseball for high school sports in Oregon, beginning in 1977. He was the voice of the Eugene Emeralds (1983-86) minor league baseball club and the Oregon women’s basketball program (1983-87). He also was the play-by-play voice of the AAA Portland Beavers from 1987-92.
Parker hosted a show on all-sports KFXX Radio from 1990-95 before moving to KEX Radio as host of Sportsline and the Fifth Quarter program following Portland Trail Blazers games.
