The Parkers
Glenn Parker
The steady hand behind the pursuit.
Hunter. Father. Mentor. Partner. The one who keeps us moving forward.
Who he is
The man behind it all
Some people lead from the front.
Glenn has always been just as comfortable standing beside the people he loves and quietly making sure they can keep moving forward.
He is the practical mind behind countless plans, the calm voice when things become complicated and the person Carly trusts most when a difficult decision has to be made.
Many of the ideas behind Wildheart Pursuits, Women Who Hunt and the wider Parker businesses may begin as conversations around a kitchen table, on a long drive or somewhere in the bush. Glenn is often the person who helps turn those conversations into reality.
Carly & Glenn
Side by side
Carly will be the first to say that she does not do any of this alone.
Glenn is her sounding board, her mentor, her reality check and, when things become difficult, the person who reminds her why they started.
He is the one who stands beside her when an idea feels impossible, who picks up the pieces after a hard week and who keeps fighting for what they believe in when she no longer has the words.
Their partnership is not built around one person following the other. They challenge each other, back each other and keep building together.
Glenn & Ethan
The example
Ethan has grown up watching Glenn far more closely than Glenn probably realises.
Not simply how he hunts, fixes things or handles himself in the bush.
He watches how his dad treats people. How he works. How he handles setbacks. How he protects his family. How he stands up for what matters.
Glenn has never needed to lecture Ethan about the kind of man he should become. He has shown him.
And more and more, Carly can see Glenn reflected in the young man Ethan is becoming.
The mentor
The person we turn to
Glenn has a way of making complicated things feel manageable.
Whether it is business, hunting, equipment, logistics or life, he is usually the person the family turns to when they need a considered answer.
He rarely needs to be the loudest voice in the room. His influence comes from experience, patience and the fact that when Glenn says he will be there, he is.
The fighter
When it matters
There are moments when building something you believe in becomes difficult.
Glenn is the person who does not disappear when those moments arrive.
When plans go wrong, pressure builds or something needs to be said, he steps forward.
He fights for his family, for the businesses they have built and for the things they believe are worth protecting.
Not because he enjoys conflict.
Because walking away from something that matters has never really been his style.
The hunter
The pursuit
Hunting is one of the places Glenn is most at home.
It combines patience, problem solving, understanding animals, reading country and knowing when to act — many of the same qualities that define him everywhere else.
Success matters, but so does everything required to earn it. The early starts, long walks, changing plans and stories that happen somewhere between leaving home and coming back again.
The builder
Making it real
There is a lot that happens behind Wildheart Pursuits that nobody will ever see.
The organising, problem solving, equipment, vehicles, phone calls, decisions and endless small jobs required to turn an idea into an experience.
Glenn is behind much of it.
He is part hunter, part organiser, part problem solver and occasionally the person wondering what Carly has volunteered them for this time.
Family
The reason
Ask Glenn what matters most and the answer is unlikely to involve a business, a trophy or a number on a screen.
It is this. His family.
Wildheart Pursuits gives the Parkers an excuse to keep choosing experiences over routine — travelling, hunting, learning, creating and building something together while Ethan is still close enough to come along for the ride.
These are the years they intend to remember.
