A year ago, Parker was your typical 13-year-old boy playing with friends, going to school, cracking jokes and pulling pranks. His parents say at a young age he has always been very smart, independent and curious of how things worked. He started watching videos on repairing electronics after breaking a few himself and really tested his parent’s patience as he took apart the electronics in their home. His interest in repairing went on to become a business after he spoke to it into existence at a Business Conference that he went to with his Stepfather Jonathan Irwin.
Jonathan is the Owner of Wireless Technology Solutions a Partner with Verizon, a company that him and his wife Amy Irwin use to work for. In fact, Parker’s store is in the location where the two of them worked and met.Looking to take his company to the next level, Jonathan started being mentored by business mogul Grant Cardone. After spending time at their headquarters, Jonathan decided it was time to share this knowledge, so he brought his wife to a 10X Business Bootcamp and then started her own business called No Negatives Photography.
The next event Parker asked to go and networked with businesses, met Cardone out back and on day 3 went up on stage. He asked Cardone “What advice he had to give to someone young like him and what he could start doing now?”
Cardone praised him for going to the conference and gave him advice on leveraging his age and setting a target. Cardone gave Parker a $10,000 goal which he said he’d raise by fixing phones. Parker then crowdfunded $1800 from the audience which Cardone then guaranteed to double as Parker chose to invest it with him.
Owner of Techy Tim Phelps saw the video and said he wanted to help Parker launch his business. Parker’s next task was to raise the capital for the Franchise fee which he did in the matter of 4 months and exceeded Cardone’s Goal for him. In total between what Parker had raised and Techy had invested had totaled to over $100,000 which 10X’d that goal that 10X Founder/Author Grant Cardone had set for him.
Parker asked his parents to homeschool him and opened his store in May which quickly became a hit with the community. Parker then realized he needed more help and that is when they reached out to Nick Rancourt who comes with 30 years of IT/Repair Experience and was the missing piece they needed for Techy Waterville. Rancourt says he enjoys being able to help support and teach Parker with his years of experience but is amazed at how much Parker teaches him as well with his youthful knowledge and perspective.
Parker is carving a path for other youth and hopes to help kids realize age doesn’t matter if there is something they want to do in life, they just need to create a plan how to get there and take action. More info go to https://techycompany.com/waterville-me
