Meet John Parham

John Parham believes in several old adages, among them, “results, not effort” and “if you love what you do…”. Mindful of both, John is intentional about cultivating an eco-system of people in both work and social groups that share a love for their craft, a love for their friends and family and a love for expanding perspectives and knowledge. In doing do, work and life have become far more complimentary to each other than competitive against each other.

When he’s not leading Jacobs’ business providing technical solutions to the largest network providers in the world, he spends time with his wife and four daughters; enjoys offshore fishing or an occasional game of golf.

After completing his bachelor of science in electrical engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, John joined the telecommunications industry with a passion to understand the comprehensive market ins and outs. Since then, he’s held positions in engineering, ran design, site development, construction, trend/estimating, sales/business development, project/program management, regional and executive leadership. This passion and search for growth opportunities translated into eight relocations throughout the United States and Canada as a means to contribute to the successful execution of core infrastructure projects within the industry.  His work has spanned the evolution from 2/3G to LTE to 5G technology and landmark projects such as the National 4G LTE Wireless Deployment, FirstNet First Responders Network and 5G Mobile Network launches.
