Meet the Founder

Parker MacIver Hinnenkamp

Founder, Arts Executive, and Strategic Consultant

Parker MacIver Hinnenkamp is a visionary entrepreneur and organizational strategist working at the intersection of the arts, finance, and mission-driven infrastructure. He is the Founder and CEO of Ars Musica, a sacred music and liturgical arts enterprise based in Minnesota, where he leads a growing ecosystem of programs in music education, church leadership, content creation, and sacred performance. With formal business entities established in both Texas and Minnesota, Parker designs ventures that prioritize clarity, sustainability, and service.

In addition to his work in music and education, Parker is the founder of a private investment firm focused on the long-term stewardship of real estate, equity positions, and small business interests. The firm operates quietly and deliberately, structured to support cultural, educational, and creative initiatives while preserving control and autonomy. Its purpose is not speculative growth, but stable, principle-aligned ownership that complements Parker’s wider commitment to building resilient, values-oriented institutions.

Earlier in his career, Parker worked in retail and commercial branch banking and management, gaining fluency in financial systems, client relations, and organizational compliance. He later served as judicial staff within the Minnesota court system, where he contributed to strategic planning and policy execution across a multi-county jurisdiction. His work included active involvement in the Minnesota Children’s Justice Initiative (CJI), a statewide reform effort aimed at improving outcomes for children and families in the child welfare system. Parker supported high-level coordination among judges, court administrators, and service providers—producing analytical reports, designing workflow systems, and helping align multi-agency collaboration with the values of timely, compassionate justice.

This early grounding in analysis, decision-making, and public administration continues to inform his work today. Parker has broad experience serving on nonprofit executive boards, actively supports scholarship and arts development initiatives, and consults with churches, musicians, and arts organizations on financial structure, operations, and long-term strategy. His approach blends institutional discipline with artistic and theological imagination, bringing clarity and professionalism to work that is spiritual, expressive, and deeply human.

Through Ars Musica and his wider ventures, Parker affirms that meaningful creative work must be both beautiful and well-supported. He builds frameworks where music, mission, and enterprise meet—not to extract value, but to preserve it, multiply it, and pass it on.
