early life
Parker Russell Schnabel was born on July 22, 1994 in Haines, Alaska. His parents are Roger and Nancy Schnabel, and he has a younger brother Payson. Parker Schnabel has been in the mining industry since he was 5 years old. Parker grew up working for Big Nugget, the mining company of his grandfather John Schnabel. Before his foot touched the pedal, he started operating the heavy machinery.
Parker Schnabel became famous and was still in high school when he played on the school basketball team. As an avid explorer and outdoor enthusiast, Parker plans to focus on geology or mining research in college, and plans to return home to run a family mine. After graduation, he took over the daily operations of the mine. After his grandfather John quit his daily operations at the mine, Parker stepped in to fill his vacancy. He took the reins, led a team of miners more than twice his age, and showed that he was capable of finding real gold. Parker made a controversial decision. Instead of going to college, he left the mining area of his hometown to find new wealth in the Yukon. He used his university trust fund as seed money for the operation.
