About

In 1927, fifteen-year-old Jack B. Parson boarded a train and headed off to help his father build roads. That summer’s experience developed into a lifelong passion. After learning to operate every piece of equipment in the fleet, he was promoted to foreman and gained a wealth of experience in the construction business. In 1952, he founded Jack B. Parson Companies in Smithfield, Utah, and the company grew to become one of the largest providers of aggregates, asphalt, concrete, and general contracting services in the region.
