Parking Today Media, the leading parking industry media company, announces a change in ownership. Kevin Uhlenhaker has purchased the company and its related outlets from founder John Van Horn.
Founded by Van Horn in 1996, Parking Today has grown to become the largest parking media company in the industry, with over 14,000 print issues delivered each month plus more than 15,000 unique visits to its digital assets, including Parknews.biz, its parking news aggregator.
“I am pleased and excited to have chosen Kevin as my successor here at Parking Today,” said Van Horn. “He brings fresh perspective, relationships and skills to accelerate Parking Today’s scope and impact. His background in entrepreneurship and parking technology will go far in jumpstarting Parking Today expansion into new offerings and markets.”
“John and his team have created the leading voice of the parking industry and I look forward to working with them to continue Parking Today’s growth with the resources to bring new avenues of spreading parking-focused news both in the US and internationally,” said Uhlenhaker. “I’m excited to build on the robust foundation and strengthen the Parking Today core suite of products for today’s parking professionals. Key to that will be prioritizing the voice of our customers and ensuring we are exceeding their expectations.”
A graduate of Texas Tech’s Rawls College of Business, Uhlenhaker began his career in parking technology at T2 Systems. He was the co-founder and CEO of NuPark, served as the CEO of Omnipark, and most recently was a Senior Vice President at Flash. He brings over two decades of experience in the parking industry. He lives in Austin, Texas.
Prior to founding Parking Today, Van Horn’s tenure has covered both sales and publishing, having led the sales team at a major PARCS company and edited a country weekly newspaper. He will remain involved in the business in a consulting function.
“It’s a testament to John’s commitment to Parking Today to remain as Editor Emeritus, which will help me continue the legacy that has made Parking Today a legend in our industry,” noted Uhlenhaker. “I am thrilled to join Parking Today as CEO and Publisher, and begin working closely with the team and valued customers.”
