Though childhood summers were often spent tagging along on construction sites with his parents, Dennis and Lisa, Parker Loomis of Loomis Construction took a winding road before joining the family’s high-quality custom home building company. He studied architecture, worked in marketing, then bought a one-way ticket to Fiji and spent months traveling solo through Australia and Thailand. “It helped me clarify what I wanted,” he remembers. “I’m grateful I came home to help transition Loomis into a legacy company for future generations.”
“Park City has always been my home. It is part of my identity,” he says of the perspective he gained. “The Wasatch Back offers everything I value.”
His high-achieving parents served as excellent models. “I learned the importance of relationships, trust, staying hands-on, and remaining calm when challenges arise,” he says. His father’s commitment to both building both custom homes and building strong community ties led Dennis to serve as president of the Park City Area Home Builders Association and inspired Parker, who is now the current president of the PCAHBA. “It lets me give back through scholarships, outreach, and industry advocacy.”
Yet the most essential parental lesson was the simplest: “Family always comes first,” he smiles. “I cherish time with my wife and two young boys.” Parker balances that family focus with outdoor adventures and the mountain-kind lifestyle he loves, while still carving out time for travel “for inspiration and perspective.”
Handling the stresses of custom home building, he keeps things light. “I enjoy Disney, anime, video games, and collecting,” he says with a laugh. “I’m just a kid at heart.”
Looking ahead, Parker feels a responsibility to carry the 30-year Loomis legacy forward in a way that stands the test of time. “We want our homes to reflect the values of family, craftsmanship, stewardship, and community.”
