ALLEN WALKER

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
Dallas Baptist University; BA-Accounting Degree
Southwest Baptist Seminary-Devinity Degree

Allen began working for the Fred Parker Company in 1994 to help Ron in Construction Management following Ron’s return to the company to manage new home construction. He was extremely helpful and worked with Ron to set up construction procedures in the field.

In 1996 Allen moved his work to accounting to computerize the existing financial system with state-of-the-art technology for the time. Allen was instrumental in helping establish a vision for the company while staying on top of the changing demands for the business. In 2001, Allen and his family wanted to pursue other alternatives, and worked to search for the proper replacement when he found Sheron Hunn. Allen remained at the company for a year working in accounting with Sheron before leaving and heading to the Hill Country to lead a resort team as he had planned.

In 2021 Allen returned to the company as CFO over all financial aspects of the business. He has a very special relationship with Ron Parker and the Parker family and loves working with the building team helping people realize their dreams.

SHERON HUHN

PAYROLL AND COST ACCOUNTING
Texas Christian University-BA-Accounting

Sheron joined the company as controller in 2001 and was responsible for managing all financial matters for the business. Allen Walker had known and respected Sheron and interviewed and hired her when he was planning on leaving the company in 2001. She retired in 2021 during Covid and moved with her family to Galveston, Texas. Shortly afterward she was contacted and hired by Allen Walker, CFO to continue to work for the company remotely and help with the payroll and cost accounting aspects of the company. It has been a great working relationship with Sheron, and she has reduced hours to spend with her family. It is the best of both worlds, and her experience, knowledge of our business, and relationship with the Parker family and team has made her a valued member of building family.
