In essence of all the great "essentials" articles of the past we here at WACK decided to feature some of the popular, and lesser known, style icons that, for the most part, call Edmonton home. ~ E

  A self described simple man,  Edmonton basketball star Andrew Gersham Parker is, nonetheless, doing big things. Born in North Edmonton to Grenada native Dr. Claudia Parker, Andrew got his start in basketball on the tarmacs of Lorelei Elementary.

  He attended M.E. Lazerte high school; where, under the guidance of his hero, coach Thom Elniski he further developed his passion for the polished court. After Graduating from M.E. Lazerte High School, Andrew attended Concordia University College of Alberta and later the University of Alberta were he completed his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology. 

  It was at this point Andrew Parker, now dubbed AGP by his peers, decided to take his talent to the professional level, playing basketball worldwide; making stops in Germany, Brazil, France and the United States. Now, back in Edmonton, Andrew continues to play basketball at the Professional level with the IBL's Edmonton Energy Professional basketball team. 

The Essentials:

Jordans: "I love Jordans. Hands down, the best shoe." 

Basketball: "This game, my mom, and God made me"

iPod : "I never leave home without my iPod. It holds 16 gigs, so i have my whole library in there"

iPhone: "The iPhone changed my life…it's very useful. It helps me stay in touch with everyone I know."
