The Roster

The team on the mountain.

Five people covering site to summit — from resort partnerships and design, through construction and day-to-day delivery.

D
Founder
Dan
Founder & CEO

Dan sets the vision for where The First Chair Company builds and personally underwrites new terrain acquisitions. He holds direct stakes in several flagship communities and leads resort-operator relationships at the ownership level, alongside his work across Prophesy Capital and DK Homes.

T
Resort Development
Tanner
Director of Resort Development

Tanner leads relationships with resort operators — negotiating lift access agreements, employee housing commitments, and terrain-use terms before a single lot line is drawn. He's the connective tissue between The First Chair Company and the mountains it builds on.

J
Design & Architecture
James
Director of Design & Architecture

James leads architectural direction for every community, translating terrain surveys into site plans that protect sightlines to the peak and work with the mountain's natural grading rather than against it.

M
Construction
Matt
Director of Construction

Matt oversees construction sequencing and general contractor relationships across every active site, keeping delivery aligned with the resort's own operating calendar instead of fighting it.

A
Project Management
Ally
Project Manager

Ally coordinates day-to-day execution across active developments — timelines, permitting, and vendor coordination from groundbreaking through delivery — keeping every project on the page in sync with what's happening on site.
