Deanna, or Dee to her friends, has been a member of Mountaineer Contractor’s team for over 8 years. During her time, Dee has been primarily responsible for the day to day traffic control operations of their various paving projects. Dee did not come into the construction industry through traditional means. In her past life, while working as a bartender and cook, she had a regular customer that worked construction.

Dana’s journey in the asphalt industry has been shaped by both family influence and her evolving career interests. Growing up with her father, Don, who is a sales representative for Mulzer Crushed Stone, Dana was always surrounded by the world of construction and paving. However, when she started her studies at Marshall University, she wasn’t certain about her career path. It wasn’t until her senior year that she discovered her passion for Human Resources and decided to pursue it further.

Olivia fell into the asphalt industry while still in college, and got a summer internship working in a quality control lab. She says, “I loved this job so much I immediately joined the Shelly Company full time after I graduated in 2019. During my time there I worked in construction scheduling and mainly estimating. I was fortunate to work with many crews and be exposed to many parts of the company that gave me appreciation for the industry as a whole.”

In 2023, she became a Milling Foreman. She said the main reason she got into Construction was her entire family worked in the industry.
