Meet the Founders

Dan Anctil has worked in the heavy construction industry since the late 1990s, developing his experience through years of hands-on involvement in the field. While attending college, he supported himself by working on construction sites, where he learned to operate heavy equipment, manage crews, and oversee projects from initial planning through completion.

 

In 2008, Dan earned a degree in Business Administration, providing the foundation he needed to move from field operations into entrepreneurship. Seeing a growing demand for specialized excavation in challenging mountain environments, he co-founded SLOPEWORX™.

 

Over the past six years, Dan has helped guide the company through significant growth. Under his leadership, the business has expanded from a three-person startup to a team of thirty employees. During that time, the company has taken on multiple large-scale projects, increased overall revenue, launched its own trucking division, and expanded into the civil and commercial construction markets.

Jeff Doran has been immersed in earthmoving and heavy equipment operations for as long as he can remember. In 2011, he took on a key role in the construction of Killington, Vermont’s new Peak Lodge—his first experience managing a large-scale construction project. From there, he honed his expertise in snowmaking installation, bike trail development, and mountain excavation across the East Coast.

 

After relocating to Park City, Utah in 2017, Jeff contributed to major projects at Snowbasin, Wasatch Peaks Ranch, and Woodward Park City. As a co-founder of SLOPEWORX™, he has played a pivotal role in completing complex projects at Eagle Point, Park City Mountain Resort, and beyond, bringing a wealth of operational and management experience to the team.
