Kevin Parks - Portland, OR
Originally from Kansas City, Kevin began CYO basketball at age 5, got his first pair of Jordans (7s) at 10, and has slept at THE basketball Mecca — Allen Fieldhouse — on numerous occasions.

He gave up competitive basketball in high school to concentrate on tennis, which he pursued while obtaining his BA at the University of Kansas. He later received his JD from the University of Oregon, as well as certifications from *occasional* sports powerhouses: the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, University of Wisconsin - Madison, and the University of Colorado - Boulder. 

A lifelong Jayhawks diehard, Kevin has slowly leaned into Ducks and Badgers fandom, though he still often has some difficulty stomaching Big Ten basketball, generally.

A former Trail Blazers season ticket holder (and once Rose Garden employee), he roots for Rip City through thick and thin, and gets to as many games as possible. 

In his free time, Kevin coaches a local OBOB reading team, attempts to perfect his BBQ and collard greens, and tries to understand how anyone could ever omit Wilt Chamberlain from their Top 5.

Laura DuPont - Rouge River, OR
