No. Vernon E. Presley never managed his son.

For Presley's entire twenty-one-year-long career, honorary Louisiana State Militia Colonel Thomas Parker (who had received his appointment as such in exchange for enabling former country-and-western singer James "Jimmie" Davis, when seeking election to the Governorship of Louisiana, to win that election) managed him. (An illegal migrant who had originally hailed from Breda, Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands, Parker was born Andreas Cornelis "Dries" Van Kuijk; his original family name was pronounced "fonn KICK." He had fled Holland because he was a person of interest in an unsolved murder there, and he never sought a United States passport because of the Netherlands's active extradition treaty with the United States.)

After Presley's death, Parker's management of him came under withering fire that proved to be very well deserved.
