Career
Sparks was a county commissioner for Rutherford County, Tennessee from 2002 until 2010, and served on the Smyrna Municipal Planning Committee from 2001 to 2010.[3]
His former auto business, MidTnAUTOS.com, was reported by the Business Journal to be the first 'dot com' car business in Tennessee to use a domain name as its official company name.[4]
Sparks has self-published three books: Learn The Car Business for Fun & Profit, Learn to Barter & 21 Ways to Increase Your Income and How to Do More with Less During Tough Times.[5]
Prompted, in part, by the Rutherford County, Tennessee juvenile arrest and incarceration scandal, in January 2023, he introduced House Bill 720[6] to the Tennessee General Assembly, proposing amendments to protect juveniles from interrogation in the absence of a guardian.[7]
