From Banker to Builder to Baritone

Don Parsons, our Director of Land and Business Development doesn’t mind switching gears. Having spent over 20 years in the world of banking and finance, Don didn’t flinch when offered the challenge of a new career in the residential construction and development business back in 2004. As one of our primary bankers, we had developed a strong relationship with Don over the years. Brooke and Don also served together for a number of years on the Board of Directors of Calvert Memorial Hospital in Prince Frederick.

But there’s another side to Don that really gets under our skin. That’s because he knows the tunes of a million songs and even worse, he knows the lyrics, too! And yeah, he’s also got a pretty good voice to go with the package. So you’re maybe humming a show tune, an old rock ballad or even a Christmas carol and next thing you know here’s Don with the words and vocals. You can’t lose face, so you join him in a duet  and now the whole world knows you can’t carry a tune!

So I strongly suggest when you see Don at the model, go easy on the tunes unless you’ve got a decent repertoire and some good pipes. Or better yet, ask HIM to give you a few bars of his favorite show tune!
