Crawford Welcomes Robbie Parks
We are excited to announce Robbie Parks as Crawford’s newest Director
of Marketing and Product Development for the adaptive market. In addition to
over twenty years of professional experience in sports equipment development
and sales, Parks brings a breadth of hands-on experience as a coach and an
accomplished life-long athlete—from bodybuilding
to waterskiing, adaptive deer hunting to cycling.
In the 1990s, Parks focused much of his athletic career on weightlifting
and body building. In 1993 alone, he took home the gold and silver medals in
the International and US Weightlifting competitions, respectively, followed by
placing third overall in the National Body Building Championships three years
in a row from 1994-1996. Parks later went on to become the Silver Medalist
in National Water Ski Championships in 2008 and 2011, as well as the Bronze
Medalist in 2012. Parks was influential in the founding of the South Eastern
Wheelchair Sports Association and Games in addition to being a Co-Founder
and Past President of the Triad Trackers Wheelchair Basketball Team.
Presently, Parks is a member of the US Disabled Weightlifting Team, the
USQRA Carolina Crash Rugby team, the ASAP Hand Cycling team and the USA
Disabled Water Ski team. Additionally he serves a peer mentor and equipment
consultant for Adaptive Sports programs both domestically and internationally.
We are thrilled and honored to have Robbie on our team!
