Physical Description:

Background and Family:
Parents:
- Charlie Davis (deceased, 2399) - construction worker, Michigan, Earth
- Trisha Davis - nurse, Michigan, Earth
Parker was raised by two supportive and loving adoptive parents. His biological parents gave him up for adoption willingly after he was first born, knowing that they did not have the means to support him and that he would be raised by state programs for children of unfit parents if they did not enter him into the adoption system. Trisha and Charlie Davis did not have extravagant means themselves, living in a lower-class (by Earth standards) neighborhood on the East side of Detroit. Charlie was a construction worker and Trisha was a nurse at the time. However limited their means, they were committed to giving Parker the best opportunities they could. When Parker was 13, his father Charlie was involved in an accident at a construction site in East Lansing, Michigan. He was killed in an equipment explosion. Parker was devastated, and Trisha saw his grades spiral and her normally upbeat, intelligent boy start to gravitate towards the wrong crowd and act out. Two years later, at age 15, he was involved in an armed robbery at a local diner that escalated to a manslaughter. One of the boys in his company fired a shot with his phaser, not realizing the setting was on 'kill' instead of 'stun'. The boys, ages 13 to 16, were tried as juveniles. Their story was confirmed by the diner's security camera, which recorded the audio and video of the entire incident. Parker was sentenced to two years in the J. Samuel Detroit Juvenile Detention Center, where he received counseling and finished his secondary school education with flying colors. He had made a remarkable recovery. While there, Parker found the religion of Christianity very enticing while in a Historic World Religions class and devoted his life to serving God.

1. Personal Logs
In 2414, Parker was assigned by BUPERS to be Captain Ahmed Ibn Salid's temporary Chief Counselor, until the Captain could select a counselor of his own. Because the Rosenante crew had recently been through a traumatic event, BUPERS felt the starship needed a counselor immediately, and selected Parker because of his extensive background in trauma.
Medical:
Parker's stay at the juvenile detention center is considered psychological medical history. He occasionally suffers from migraine headaches, but they are under control with modern medicine.
Skills:
Parker is an expert in psychological trauma treatment and has extensive experience working with incarcerated individuals. He is very good at relating to people. He loves to 'people watch' and guess what people are going through. He is not an empath, but people sometimes mistake him for being part Betazoid because of his dark eyes and ability to accurately determine how people feel. He is also very good at profiling, and has completed several criminal profiles for Starfleet in the past.
Personal Life:
Parker is interested in American History and Mars History, as both won their independence from a larger power. He loves reading, and mostly reads encouraging, motivational, or spiritual works. He is also a fan of rock climbing and free running, a city sport.
