My name is A.J. Parnell and I want to let you know a little about me.  I grew up in Kirkland and attended Thoreau Elementary, Finn Hill Jr. High and Juanita High School.  I then went on to play football at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN and graduated with a degree in Physical Education, K-12.  After graduation I was lucky to have the opportunity to come back to Finn Hill and teach Physical Education and work as the Athletic Director.  Along with my duties as the Athletic Director I coach football at Juanita High School.  I am excited to be back at Finn Hill and the potential all of our students have in the classroom and on the athletic playing field.  I am married to my lovely wife Kristi, who works as the counseling secretary at Rose Hill Jr. High.  We live in Kirkland and love being in the Northwest.
