I am a novelty around here….I am a native North Carolinian, born and raised here. I attended the local schools and am a graduate of East Carolina University. I have worked for Parrish Tire since 1977, so you would think I should know what I am doing by now. I am single with one grown son who lives in Raleigh. I enjoy playing golf and riding my Harley in my spare time. I appreciate your business and the opportunity to help you.

John Patrick Foley, born in Illinois raised in Akron Ohio I am the 6th oldest and 5th youngest of a family of 10. I have been a part of the automobile and tire business for over 32 years. I spent 17 years as an auto mechanic and 6 years running retail stores before joining the big leagues with Parrish Tire 9 years ago. Having 3 beautiful daughters has taught me the meaning of work. Helping the two oldest get college degrees and the youngest get married has made all my hard work worth while. I am very competitive in all aspects of my life and I play a mean game of chess. My goals are simple: to some day hit the lottery.

I was born and have always lived here in the piedmont area of NC. I was raised working in the tire company my grandfather started, and my parents ran throughout the 80’s and 90’s. My excuse for being in the tire business is that I was born into it, I didn’t have much of a choice, it’s everyone else that has chosen this biz. I’ve been at Parrish Tire since January of 1997 and I enjoy my job very much. Outside of work I like to ride my Harley, play golf (which I rarely get to do), and do anything with the large group of very good friends that I am blessed to have. I’m single and enjoy the freedom that gives me to be able to do anything or go anywhere basically on the spur of the moment.
I appreciate the business and the friendships I have gained thru the years, call and let me help you with your tire needs!

I started working at Parrish Tire in 2008 after a long career in various healthcare environments as well as computer support for networking and medical softwares. I was born and raised in Rural Hall, North Carolina. I moved to Atlanta, Georgia to accept a computer support position with a medical software company. Family commitments brought me back home and eventually to Parrish Tire, a career for which I am most thankful.
I am proud to say that I’m a part of the Parrish Tire sales team! Please call me if you need assistance with anything. Thanks!

I have just recently relocated to the triad area after spending the last seven years in Savannah, Georgia. I graduated from Armstrong Atlantic State University with a BS in Radiologic Science.
After moving “home” to North Carolina I stumbled into the tire business here at Parrish Tire Company. They have graciously taken me in and put up with my mouthy outbursts. I truly enjoy the interesting people I encounter with this job and I hope to give back some of the same.
Outside of the office I can usually be found outdoors getting into some kind of mischief such as riding horses, hiking, and of course shopping.
