James Parker: podcast appearances and interviews

James Parker is the founding partner of Leonid Capital Partners and is affiliated with Berks & Bucks FA. His professional background does not appear to be related to his ancestral history in colonial America, where the original James Parker was a printer and publisher during the period of British rule. Born in 1714 at Woodbridge Township, New Jersey, the older James Parker was the son of Samuel Parker and Jana Inglis Parker. He had a brother named Samuel who died young and was buried in Woodbridge Township. James Parker's family included a son, Samuel Franklin Parker, who shared the typesetting talents of his father and developed a close association with Benjamin Franklin, adopting the Franklin name as part of his business identity during colonial times. Parker also had a daughter, Jane Ballareau Parker, who married Gunning Bedford Jr., a signer of the United States Constitution and a Founding Father. While the historical figure of James Parker played a notable role in early American colonial publishing, the contemporary individual holding the role of founding partner at Leonid Capital Partners is a separate professional distinct from his ancestral past.
