"Lessons learned: Practice interview; never get discouraged; be persistent; have confidence; love what you do; be the best you can be at what you do; if you say you are going to fully commit, then commit fully."
- Robert Shew
"After having the chance to listen to Sandra Parker's inspirational presentation a few weeks ago, it was a wonderful opportunity to be able to sit down again and hear her husband present an equally inspiring message. Rich had a way of sending various messages throughout his speech that applied to not just one, but many aspects of life." - Ellie Belleau "I respect a person that knows what they are capable of and is not afraid to tell others that they are every bit as good as they know they are. Mr. Parker's presentation was a nice addition to the collection that we have been provided this semester." - Mathew Saur |
"I think there is much that I learned from Richard tonight, because I see many similarities from his struggles, and my struggles I have faced, and will continue to face in the future. I find it very interesting that he has kept his hopes up and state of mind this high and uplifting thus far throughout his life, and has truly found happiness and success in his career."

"During dinner we had a very nice conversation. I spent most of the dinner speaking with Rich's wife, Sandy, about the job fair I just attended. I told her about some of the positions that I inquired about and got interviews for and she gave her input on the companies and how the positions may be. I am glad there are people like Rich and Sandy in the world and who are associated with Thiel." - Mike Deems |
