Mike Parnell has a rap sheet unlike many I know. Starting off in his early twenties, Mike became a professional skydiver, breaking many records on the USA Skydiving Team. He completed jumps in many countries around the globe. Mike then went on to play a pivotal role in the once popular Ocean Pacific surf-wear company until he sold out in his late twenties. Mike then went on to join Jim Jannard, the founder of Oakley Sunglasses as a partner, helping Oakley grow from a small company with 16 employees selling motorcycle grips, to the game changing eye-ware brand we all know and love today.
