Our Founder

Paul Parker is a dynamic entrepreneur and community leader whose life story exemplifies the power of transformation and purpose. Born and raised in the heart of Toledo, Ohio, Paul overcame the challenges of inner-city life, including poverty, violence, and a lack of opportunity. After a decade entangled in gang activity and street life, he made a life-changing decision at 26—to surrender to faith and rebuild his life from the ground up.

Since that turning point, Paul has become a force for good in his community. In 2011, he began leading grassroots anti-violence initiatives, including the impactful “2 Mile March & Rally to Stop Gang Violence.” His work received national recognition from The Non-Violence Project USA and a proclamation from the Mayor of Toledo, inspiring young people to become agents of change.

Paul also reconnected with his childhood love for boxing, turning professional at 27. The sport instilled discipline and provided a platform to mentor local youth. Through coaching at Toledo P.A.L., Bullpen Boxing Club, and community gyms, Paul has used boxing to teach structure, resilience, and self-respect.

His dedication to community advancement has earned him leadership roles on the Mayor’s Coalition of Hope, the Scott High School Community Hub Team, and youth-focused advisory boards. He’s known for bridging gaps between institutions and the underserved, and for empowering others through lived experience and authentic leadership.

In 2022, Paul launched Push Transportation LLC, a same-day delivery company serving a 250-mile radius around Toledo. What began with one truck has grown into a five-vehicle fleet, securing key contracts and earning MBE, DBE, and EDGE certifications. The company has also received state funding to accelerate growth and job creation—solidifying Paul’s reputation as a business leader with vision and grit.

Today, Paul Parker continues to build bridges between the streets and the boardroom, the youth and opportunity, the problem and the solution. As a father, coach, CEO, and mentor, his mission is clear: to inspire, invest in, and uplift the next generation of leaders—especially those who come from where he once stood.
