Born in Salt Lake City & raised in Heber Valley, Josh Allen grew up with a deep appreciation for the outdoors and mountain life. As the son of Mark Allen—a longtime leader and respected figure in the Deer Crest community—Josh learned early on the value of hard work and hands-on dedication. Over the years, he’s proudly stepped into many of the roles his father once held, continuing that legacy with the same level of care and commitment. With more than 16 years at Deer Crest, Josh has become a familiar face to many homeowners, having spent much of his career overseeing security operations and coordinating key construction efforts throughout the property. His steady leadership and institutional knowledge have helped shape the community’s daily rhythm and long-term vision. When he’s not on site, Josh enjoys life as a dad to two kids, has a deep love for music, and is no stranger to the slopes—having grown up skiing Deer Valley, he’s been part of the local mountain scene for as long as he can remember.

Born and raised in the small town of Belt, Montana, James Pope’s strong work ethic was shaped early on by long days spent working on ranches and farms, as well as the values instilled by his parents’ military background. A true outdoorsman at heart, James has been skiing since the age of five and has always felt most at home in the mountains. Before joining Deer Crest, James spent five years in the Bay Area working in the fast-paced world of tech startups as an engineer. While he loved the innovation and challenges of that space, he ultimately found his calling in a more grounded lifestyle—one that blends his professional experience with his love of the outdoors. As Community Director at Deer Crest, James brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to resident engagement and property management. He’s passionate about fostering a welcoming, well-run community and feels privileged to call the Wasatch Mountains home.
