“I’m really excited to start a new job with a new company,” Parker said. “I look forward to adding to my credit knowledge.”

With nearly nine years of banking experience, Parker previously worked as a mortgage loan originator at another financial institution.

“At first, it just started as a part-time job during college, but I was really drawn to the wide range of career opportunities in banking and the great community of people that were around me,” Parker said of his interest in the financial industry.

Parker graduated in 2017 from the University of Central Arkansas with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology.

Born in Conway, Parker grew up in Center Ridge and Greenbrier. He currently lives in Conway with his wife, Kalli. They attend Summit Church.

“Growing up in Greenbrier, I was pretty familiar with First Service Bank, but once I entered the banking world, I heard nothing but good things,” Parker said, explaining what drew him to FSB. “I had also known some people who left my previous employer and started working here. They only had great things to say about First Service.”

First Service Bank, with its headquarters in Faulkner County, has been in operation for more than 60 years and has locations in Clinton, Conway, Dermott, Flippin, Greenbrier, Little Rock, Mountain View, Shirley and Yellville. For more information, visit firstservicebank.com.
