Parker

Name: Parker Schnabel Hair: Brown short hair Beard: Short dark, almost stubble like. Eyes: Deep Brown eyes. Features: Tall, about 6 feet and skinny, about 165lbs. His cheeks are slightly sunken in and he has a large but beautiful nose. He has a few crow's feet by his eyes from squinting too much due to the harsh winters in Alaska and snow blindness.

Personality: He is quite hot tempered and has a short fuse. He tends to get really angry and annoyed easily, but usually comes around eventually and apologizes for his behavior, at least after a bit of convincing from his friend Mitch, or his gold cleaner named Chris, who's a senior citizen. He swears alot when angry. He has a tendency to get hangry if he skips lunch. He is a bit selfish and egoistic at times. He has a good sense of humor and is actually very kind (when he's not working). He naturally assumes that everyone knows how to do their work around the mine, and gets unnecessarily angry when people make mistakes. He loves his family and his dog, a chocolate Labrador called Bosco. His family lives in Haines Alaska, but they visit Parker in the Yukon occasionally.

Clothing: He usually wears blue jeans or loose fitting pants. They're often dirty from him working on his Gold Mine. He wears checkered button down shirts when it's colder, and loose t-shirts when it's warmer. He often wears a baseball cap when outside. Unless he is working on his mine, then he wears a hard hat. He has a fondness for wearing hoodies. Backstory: Instead of attending college, he used his college fund to set up his own mining operation, and found an impressive 1,029 ounces of gold, worth a total of $1.4 million, in his rookie season in the Klondike. He grew up in Haines Alaska with his family, Mother Nancy, Father Roger, 4 year older brother Payson and then Parker's role model, his paternal grandfather John. John was the one who gave Parker his college fund to use however he wanted, and when Parker chose to become a gold miner like himself, John was very touched and proud. Parker began mining with his grandpa at the age of 5, and he was eventually given his grandpa's mine, The Big Nugget, when he was 16. He is now 30 and has bought his own plot of land, Dominion Creek. He used to lease a plot of land from Dutch gold miner Tony Beets, who he has a very rocky relationship with. They often don't get along. John passed away a few years ago.

Notes: He loves Johnny Cash's music, and he also likes to drink Corona beer. Besides Johnny Cash, he also seems to like House and EDM music. Parker's best friend and foreman is called Mitch. Mitch is in his late 30's/early 40's, has a wife and two children back at home in Oregon. Mitch has a young daughter and a toddler son. Mitch has short brown hair with grey streaks, always wears a baseball cap on, and always wears a reflexive jacket, except for when he's indoors.

Parker is a star of the show Gold Rush on Discovery Channel. He is filmed running his mining operations from April to the last of October. The film crew is brittish, and sometimes parker doesn't like to be filmed, especially when something important or private happens. During the off-season, Parker likes to spend time with his family or go traveling. While he is Gold Mining, the crew live in big barracks or trailers that they share on the dig site, except for Parker. Parker has a small one story house that came with when he bought the mine.

The camera crew is almost always present. It's hard to get Parker's attention due to him always being focused on his job. It's not easy to gain Parkers attention.

Parker has a chocolate lab puppy named Bosco.

Parker has an ex-girlfriend named Ashley that's from Australia. He was dumped a few seasons ago, and he felt like it was his fault. Even though she essentially was a gold digger and only after his money. She was blond and a typical fake girl with lots of makeup and pretending to be nice. In reality she was greedy and impatient. She didn't like that Parker put work before her, so she dumped him.*
