Meet Our People
Parker Boles / President, CEO
The driving force behind our company's commitment to excellence, Parker grew up with a rich background in the hardwood industry. In his high school days, Parker spent his summers traveling with his father, a lumber inspector, who passed along his knowledge to his eager-to-learn son. After graduating from the National Hardwood and Lumber Association's Inspection School, Parker followed in his father's footsteps.
In 1979, the company for which Parker worked moved out of state. At the age of 23, Parker established Hermitage Hardwood Sales, which started as a lumber consulting business. Through the contacts he had made as an inspector, he saw the need in the marketplace for the services he offered. As Parker puts it, the goal of Hermitage Hardwoods was to solve problems for both buyers and sellers.
Eventually, the success and growth of the business led into the need for processing and stocking its own product. In 1985, Hermitage purchased a lumber concentration yard in Nashville. However, as the company continued to gain strength, it quickly out-grew its Nashville yard. That's when Parker decided to return to the home of his youth, the Upper Cumberland area, and moved Hermitage Hardwood to its present 33-acre location in Cookeville, where it's been since 1990.
"One of our core advantages is the level of dedication and experience our team possesses. We've assembled a staff of experts in the hardwood lumber industry, whether it's through the purchasing side or the sales aspect. It's a level of knowledge that our customers can rely on and trust."
