Outside of the Dental Office,
What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Parry met his wonderful wife, Liz, in college, and they were married in 2006. She truly makes their house into a home with her ability to find joy in life and look for the positive in all things. If you ever get a chance to try one of her homemade pies, don’t pass it up! They’re a little slice of heaven on earth. Together, they have three beautiful daughters. Kalia is their academic, who will read anything she can find, while Amalyn is their ball of perpetual energy. Finally, there’s Mia, who is the self-proclaimed princess (and dragon) of the family.
The final members of the Parry family are their special cats. Sheba and Persia were adopted in 2016 from a local shelter, while Rocco (a Bengal) was adopted as a rescue animal. Two more rescue cats, Cookie & Millie (a Maine Coone) joined the craziness in 2024. Their family also cares for several species of poison dart frogs – but don’t worry! They aren’t toxic in captivity, even though they’re still brightly colored. They also have several parakeets, a bearded dragon, and a panther chameleon. Let’s just say Dr. Parry comes to work to get a break from it all!
Outside of working hours, Dr. Parry and his wife are passionate about traveling. It doesn’t have to be some exotic foreign location either – natural wonders can be found everywhere, from waterfalls to forests to waterways! They love doing pretty much anything outdoors, including camping, hiking, downhill mountain bike racing, zip lining, canoeing, kayaking, and so much more. They also take plenty of time to explore the history of the areas they visit.
As for personal hobbies, Dr. Parry enjoys playing the ukulele and listening to traditional Hawaiian music – his wife can even dance the Hula! He’s also a lover of the arts, an avid board game collector, a pop culture aficionado, a bit of a nerd (he is a dentist, after all), and a gardener. Nothing beats homegrown fruits and vegetables straight from the garden or orchard! Next on his list is to become an apiarist or someone who raises bees. What could be better than honey straight from the source?
Ultimately, whatever Dr. Parry’s wife and kids want to do becomes a hobby for him as well. Life is short, and spending time with those closest to him is the best hobby he could ever have.
