Career

Partnership with Parsons

Early years

Parsons started learning to skate at age seven to play hockey but ultimately chose figure skating. He joined the Wheaton Ice Skating Academy in December 2003. Early in his ice dancing career, he skated with Kristina Rexford.

He teamed up with his sister, Rachel, in February 2010. They won gold on the novice level at the 2011 U.S. Championships and debuted on the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in September 2011, placing 9th in Gdańsk, Poland. After taking the junior pewter medal at the 2012 U.S. Championships, they represented the United States at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics, placing 4th. They were also selected for the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus, where they finished 15th.

Competing in the 2012–13 JGP series, the Parsons placed sixth in Linz, Austria before taking bronze in Zagreb, Croatia.

2013–2014 season

The Parsons obtained silver at both of their 2013–14 JGP assignments, which took place in Košice, Slovakia and Ostrava, Czech Republic. They qualified for the JGP Final in Fukuoka, Japan where they placed sixth. The duo won bronze at the junior level at the 2014 U.S. Championships and capped off their season with an 8th-place finish at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.

2014–2015 season

The Parsons medaled at both their 2014–15 JGP assignments, receiving bronze in Aichi, Japan and silver in Zagreb. They finished as the first alternates for the JGP Final and won silver on the junior level at the 2015 U.S. Championships. Concluding their season, they placed fourth at the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.

2015–16 season: World Junior silver and Junior Grand Prix Final bronze

During the 2015–16 JGP series, the Parsons were awarded gold in Bratislava, Slovakia and Zagreb. Competing in Barcelona at their second JGP Final, the siblings took the bronze medal behind McNamara/Carpenter and Loboda/Drozd, having placed second in the short dance and fifth in the free. At the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary they placed first in the short and second in the free, winning the silver medal behind McNamara/Carpenter.

2016–17 season: World Junior champion and Junior Grand Prix Final gold

Competing in their sixth JGP season, the Parsons were awarded gold in Yokohama, Japan and Dresden, Germany both times ahead of Russia's Shpilevaya/Smirnov. In December 2016, they competed at the JGP Final in Marseille, France; ranked second in the short and first in the free, they won the title by a margin of 0.63 over Loboda/Drozd.

The next month, the Parsons won their first junior national title at the 2017 U.S. Championships, over 11 points clear of the field. The siblings would cap off their undefeated season by winning the 2017 World Junior Championships; similar to the 2016–17 JGP Final, the Parsons won the event overall after placing second in the short and first in the free, earning an even narrower victory of 0.56 ahead of Loboda/Drozd. The Parsons earned personal bests in their combined total and free dance scores on their fifth Junior Championships trip.

2017–18 season: International senior debut

Moving to the senior level, the Parsons debuted at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International, winning the silver medal behind longtime rivals McNamara/Carpenter, who were also making their senior debut. They then took the silver medal at the 2017 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy, their debut on the ISU Challenger series. Assigned to two Grand Prix events, they finished ninth at Skate America and seventh at the Rostelecom Cup. They competed at a second Challenger event, the Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they finished eighth.

Competing at the senior level at the 2018 U.S. Championships, they placed fifth and thus did not qualify for the U.S. Olympic team. Instead they were sent to the 2018 Four Continents Championships, finishing sixth.

2018–19 season: End of Parsons/Parsons

After a second straight silver medal at Lake Placid's summer ice dance event, the siblings competed in three straight Challenger events, winning consecutive silver medals at the Asian Open, Nebelhorn Trophy and Nepela Trophy. At their first Grand Prix event in Japan, the 2018 NHK Trophy, they won their first and only Grand Prix medal, a bronze. They finished fifth at the 2018 Internationaux de France, their second Grand Prix. The Parsons placed sixth at the 2019 U.S. Championships.

On April 2, 2019, Rachel announced on Instagram that she was retiring from figure skating following a lengthy struggle with an eating disorder. Michael said he intended to continue skating with a new partner.

Partnership with Green

2019–20 season: Debut of Green/Parsons

On June 20, 2019, it was announced that Parsons had formed a partnership with Caroline Green, the 2019 U.S junior champion. Green was several years younger than Parsons, an age difference that he said, "on the ice, I really don’t think it matters that much." Green/Parsons placed fifth at Lake Placid Ice Dance International and the 2019 CS Lombardia Trophy. Making their senior Grand Prix debut as a team, they placed seventh at 2019 Skate America. Parsons remarked that "I’m very pleasantly surprised at how well she has adapted to senior. She has done really well, and I couldn’t be happier." Competing the following week at the 2019 Skate Canada International, Green/Parsons again placed seventh. They won their first international medal, a bronze, at the 2019 CS Warsaw Cup behind Lauriault/Le Gac of France and Russia's Konkina/Drozd.

Competing at their first U.S. Championships, Green/Parsons placed fifth in the rhythm dance. They were fifth in the free dance, despite a fall. Parsons said afterward that they were "still a very young team, but it's coming along faster than I ever expected. I couldn't be more proud; I am very happy."

2020–21 season

The coronavirus pandemic and resultant lockdowns resulted in Green and Parsons not being able to see or train with each other from March to June. Caroline enlisted her brother Gordon as a training partner at home. In order to limit international travel, the ISU assigned the Grand Prix based on geographic location, and Green/Parsons attended the 2020 Skate America finishing in fourth place.

Green/Parsons went on to finish fourth at the 2021 U.S. Championships, taking the pewter medal.

2021–22 season: Four Continents gold

For their free dance, Green, Parsons, and their choreographers opted to design a program in emulation of Martha Graham's style of modern dance, which Parsons characterized as involving "a lot of emotion into almost sparse movements."

Green/Parsons made their Olympic season debut at the 2021 CS Autumn Classic International, winning the bronze medal. Competing next on the Grand Prix at the 2021 Skate Canada International, they finished in fourth place. They were initially assigned to the 2021 Cup of China as their second Grand Prix, but following its cancellation, they were reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia. They placed fourth in the rhythm dance but dropped to fifth place after Green fell exiting a lift in the free dance.

Entering the 2022 U.S. Championships seeking to qualify for the third berth on the American Olympic team, Green/Parsons placed third in the rhythm dance despite a twizzle error, slightly ahead of defending national bronze medalists Hawayek/Baker, who also had a twizzle error. They were fourth in the free dance and dropped behind Hawayek/Baker overall, taking the pewter medal. They were named first alternates for the Olympic team and were sent to compete at the 2022 Four Continents Championships in Tallinn, where they won the gold medal. Parsons reflected on not making the Olympic team, saying, "even while not making the team, we set ourselves up very well for the next four years, and this is a great starting point right here. Not making the team is certainly a motivation."

2022–23 season: First Grand Prix medal

Green and Parsons left their longtime coaches at Wheaton Ice Dance Academy to train at the new Michigan Ice Dance Academy founded by retired Olympic medalists Charlie White and Tanith Belbin. Parsons said of the change, "these next four years are about pushing ourselves as skaters, as artists, and as people."

Beginning the season at the 2022 CS Finlandia Trophy, Green/Parsons placed fifth. In their first Grand Prix at the 2022 Skate Canada International, the team placed narrowly third in the rhythm dance but were overtaken in the free dance by Canadians Lajoie/Lagha and finished in fourth place, albeit significantly improving their scores over the Finlandia Trophy. At their second Grand Prix, the 2022 NHK Trophy in Sapporo, they won the bronze medal, their first Grand Prix medal as a partnership and Green's first.

With presumptive national silver medalists Hawayek/Baker missing the 2023 U.S. Championships for health reasons, Green/Parsons entered the event as the favourites for the silver, and finished almost ten points clear of bronze medalists Carreira/Ponomarenko.

Green/Parsons entered the 2023 Four Continents Championships as contenders for the bronze medal, but after Parsons fell in the rhythm dance they placed fifth in that segment, 9.05 points back of Lajoie/Lagha in third. They placed fourth in the free dance, but remained in fifth overall, and finishing behind Carreira/Ponomarenko, who came fourth. Parsons said that they were happy with their performance on the day. They finished sixth in their World Championship debut.

2023–24 season: Second consecutive Grand Prix medal

Green/Parsons came sixth at the 2023 CS Lombardia Trophy. Receiving advice from judges there, they opted to discard their original Paula Abdul rhythm dance, switching to a medley of music from Scorpions. Creating the latter program over a period of only a few weeks was "a great learning experience," in the team's view. In its first outing at the 2023 Skate America, they finished fifth in the rhythm dance, and rose to fourth after the free dance. Parsons called the result "a big step towards where we want to be compared to Lombardia Trophy." At their second Grand Prix, the 2023 Cup of China, they placed third in the rhythm dance despite Green losing a twizzle level. Parsons commented that they had "debuted this program at Skate America and at that point it was two weeks old. So now it is four weeks' old and we are happy with progress." Third in the free dance as well, they won their second Grand Prix bronze medal.

In advance of the 2024 U.S. Championships, Green/Parsons were named to the American team for the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai. They were third in the rhythm dance at the national championships, but multiple errors in the free dance dropped them to fourth place, taking the pewter medal. Parsons deemed it "a disappointing skate." At Four Continents they came fifth in the rhythm dance, and finished sixth overall after a sixth-place free dance. Green said they were "well prepared for a sharp off-season."

2024–25 season

Green and Parsons began the season by winning silver at the 2024 Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur. Going on to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix circuit, they finished fourth at the 2024 NHK Trophy. In their second event, they were sixth at the 2024 Cup of China.

At the 2025 U.S. Championships in Wichita, Green/Parsons and Zingas/Kolesnik both received an 82.13 score in the rhythm dance, but as Zingas/Kolesnik had the higher technical score they placed third in the segment, while Green/Parsons were fourth. They rose to third after the free dance, claiming the bronze medal. Parsons revealed that he had been dealing with injuries during the prior season, "so this season started off as a comeback. I no longer think that that's an appropriate term to apply to this season, because we are not coming back anymore. We are better than we have been, and we are going to continue getting better."

Rather than attend the 2025 Four Continents Championships, Green/Parsons were assigned to the Road to 26 Trophy, the test event for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan's Forum di Milano. They won the silver medal. Finishing the season at the 2025 World Championships, Green/Parsons placed ninth. He said they "put down two skates we're really proud of," while she added: "Any time we get to skate in front of a crowd like this, we're so incredibly blessed and lucky. And just to have another experience with that type of pressure going into the Olympic season, we're so honored."

2025–26 season: Four Continents silver and Grand Prix medal

Green/Parsons opened their season by winning bronze at the 2025 CS Nepela Memorial.

The following month, they competed at the 2025 Cup of China, but were forced to withdraw before the free dance segment due to Parsons sustaining a pelvic injury during their rhythm dance. "We were giving it our best shot at the practice this morning, giving it a best shot at the warm-up, but at the end of the day, I didn’t feel stable or strong enough to do this program safely with my partner," said Parsons. "It’s really disappointing. I think we both really wanted to get there and show our program to the crowd and everybody watching on TV. But today was not the day to do it, so we’ll say it was time to rest, to recover. We work with the medical team here and look forward to NHK."

In November, the team won the bronze at 2025 NHK Trophy. “I think it’s safe to say that Michael and I have learned a lot in these past three weeks that we’ve been away here in Asia,” said Green. “To go from one of the most difficult experiences of our careers, having to withdraw from the free dance in China, to having the skates that we did here at NHK, has just been really rewarding." They followed this up by winning bronze at the 2025 CS Warsaw Cup.

Two months later, Green/Parsons finished fourth at the 2026 U.S. Championships. They were subsequently named as the first alternates for the 2026 Winter Olympic team and to the 2026 Four Continents team.

Less than two weeks later, Green and Parsons took the silver medal at the 2026 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships. “Every year, every season that we have is different in many ways, and we’ve had some ups and downs since the last Olympic Games,” Parsons summed up. “To be in a very similar position where we’re alternates with the Games and successful at Four Continents, is bittersweet."
