Parker Fox

The Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation (MAEF) will host its Zephyr Gala on Friday, April 10, 2026, at JX Venue, an evening celebrating community, connection, and support for Mahtomedi Public Schools.

MAEF is excited to welcome back Mahtomedi High School Class of 2017 alum Parker Fox as this year's emcee! Parker captained the basketball team before continuing his career at Northern State and the University of Minnesota, where he earned his master’s degree and served as a three-year Gopher captain.

Now a Big Ten Network analyst, KFAN contributor, and host of the Double Down podcast, Parker brings energy, insight, and heart to everything he does. A passionate advocate for mental health and young athletes, he’s a dynamic voice both on and off the court, and we’re thrilled to have him join us at the Zephyr Gala.
