Twenty years of building programs, businesses, and communities from scratch — now focused on the most important challenge of the decade: helping organizations and people get genuinely good at using AI.
I've taught philosophy at the university level, produced documentaries, consulted for federal litigators, built a meadery from the ground up, and mentored hundreds of students navigating some of the hardest transitions of their lives. None of that was accidental — I follow curiosity, and curiosity doesn't move in straight lines.
What I've learned across all of it: the most durable change happens when you start with the person, not the process. Whether I'm designing an AI program for a workforce, building curriculum for a university, or helping an organization figure out where AI actually belongs in their operations — I start with the human question first.
My Purdue Applied Generative AI Specialization adds the technical depth to match the instinct. I understand how large language models work, where agent frameworks are useful and where they aren't, and how to translate that into strategy that non-technical stakeholders can actually act on.
I'm based in Louisville, Kentucky. I'm dyslexic and have ADHD — both of which I've come to understand as features, not bugs. Pattern recognition, hyperfocus, and seeing connections across wildly different domains are my native operating system.
Let's talk →"The most useful insights come from the edges between fields. I've spent my career living at those edges — and now I'm bringing that disposition to AI."
— George Parker Jr.Designing and running AI adoption programs that actually stick. I bridge the gap between what the technology can do and what your organization is ready to absorb — managing stakeholders, sequencing change, and building the internal capability to sustain it.

Co-founded and ran a craft meadery in Louisville, KY — handling everything from brand strategy and sales to operations, event programming, and community partnerships.
Launched a pop-up meadery in La Grange, KY from concept to opening in seven weeks. A lean, fast test of a new concept — proving that agile operational thinking translates directly from startup playbooks to brick-and-mortar.
Led full restaurant operations for two diner concepts in Louisville — overseeing staff, financials, vendor relationships, and customer experience through a high-volume food service environment.
12-year creative media and consulting practice spanning education, legal, hospitality, media, and nonprofit sectors. Work ranged from litigation support and records management to curriculum design, organizational strategy, and documentary production.
Supported a Louisville law firm with complex litigation document management, records retention strategy, and discovery processes — building the organizational and analytical discipline that would later define my consulting work.
Built and led an interdisciplinary academic program at the intersection of liberal arts education, teacher credential programs, and community partnerships in San Francisco.
