Ryan Parker's Skills
Ryan Parker's Education
University of Florida, Hough Graduate School of Business
MS, Real Estate and Urban Analysis
2004 – 2005
Went to grad school with hopes of learning more about creating high-end golf communities. Focused on planning, design and creative land use. Was chosen first overall in my class draft for our capstone teams. Got the bug for visual design as a result of said capstone project. Decided to teach myself. This education continues today.
University of Florida
BA, Economic Geography
1998 – 2002
Entered college as an aerospace engineering student. Really wanted to design jet engines. Decided my time could be better-spent doing something other than complex math. Finally dug into the really cool field of social and business geography. Lots of GIS, mapping and learning why businesses tend to succeed or fail due to location. (Note: still really want to design jet engines. Maybe tomorrow.)
Wrote page-turning honors thesis: "The Location Quotient Procedure Applied to Business Geographic Market Analysis"
Graduated summa cum laude. Moved to Nashville to become a professional bass player. Quickly humbled, decided to find a new path.
Activities and Societies: Member of Gamma Theta Upsilon, International Geography Honor Society
The Bolles School
High School Diploma
1985 – 1998
