It's been a while since we've done a Meet the Top Shelf Team post, but we couldn't forget the boss man himself—Kirk Parker!
Kirk and his wife, Ashley, have owned Top Shelf Cabinets & Countertops for the past 14 years, and from day one, he's treated the business like his baby.
In the early days, Kirk did it all. He measured, designed, quoted, picked up cabinets, assembled them, delivered them, and even jumped in on installations when needed. Up until this past year, if you dealt with Top Shelf, chances are you dealt with Kirk.
While he's still very hands-on, we've built an incredible team that has helped take some of those responsibilities off his plate. One thing that hasn't changed is Kirk's commitment to quality, attention to detail, and making sure every client is happy with the finished product.
While Top Shelf is a huge part of his life, family will always come first. When he's not at work, you'll usually find him playing mini sticks in the kitchen with his son, Jack, making TikToks with his daughter, Emilie, or cheering them both on at their many sporting events.
Growing up, Kirk was a talented athlete who played just about every sport, mostly basketball and except hockey! He still enjoys reminding everyone that he was named Athlete of the Year in his senior year of high school in 1999. These days, the only sport you'll regularly find him playing is curling. Whether he's throwing rocks at the local curling club or watching a big curling event on TV, he's a big fan of the game.
Fun Fact: Kirk absolutely loves Christmas! From decorating and baking to Christmas music and shopping for the perfect gifts, it's his favourite time of year. He's even passed that love on to Jack and Emilie—the three of them can often be found listening to Christmas music... no matter what month it is! 🎄
