Luc Germann
Lead Project Manager
As Lead Project Manager at Deadwood Construction Inc., I help oversee company operations and manage our large-scale remodel projects. Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside an incredible team, ensuring every detail is executed with quality and craftsmanship. Prior to Deadwood, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Business from Westmont College in Montecito and started my career in real estate finance before transitioning into construction. After obtaining a professional certificate in Construction Management through UCLA, I found my passion in bringing projects to life with thoughtful planning and execution. Born and raised in the area, I have a deep appreciation for the ocean and coastal lifestyle. When I’m not on-site or in the office, you’ll find me surfing or spending time at the beach with my wife and our two (soon to be three!) kids. Whether in construction or life, I believe in building things that last.
Athen Shelp
Project Engineer
As Deadwood’s newest hire, Athen brings 7 years of experience running his own business to the team. Athen graduated from USC in 2017 with a 4-year BS degree and has since worked with some of the most successful and high-end clientele in Southern California. He lives in Ventura and spends his weekends restoring his 1917 California Bungalow, along with some help from his wife and 1-year old son.
