Marine Corps born, Army retired is John Ciceron, Alpine’s newest broadband technician. While in the military, John ran wire for artillery units. He was a wire chief admin for two years working on satellite communications. John served in the Marine Corp Communications from 2000-2004 and the Minnesota Army National Guard Communications from 2004 – 2016.
Before joining Alpine, John roamed the country in an 18-wheeler and said he heard a voice calling, “Come to Iowa. We will convert you into a Hawkeye or Cyclone Fan.” His 16 years of experience in the military was a great starting point to work in telecommunications, but John wanted to learn more about the networking side of things. He felt Alpine was a great place to expand his knowledge. He says, “Dealing with wires and fiber strands was very easy, but networking and information technology is all new.”
John confirmed his decision to join Alpine. “Everyone is super helpful. Knowing I can turn and call someone any time during the day is a good feeling. Alpine is a small company with a million hearts.” He loves being able to help and support our local community which has given him a chance to meet new people every day. He enjoys the friendliness and appreciation from our customers.
If you get a chance to talk with John, your conversation may be about archery, fishing, building computers or video gaming. Somewhere in the conversation, food will be discussed. John loves to cook and enjoys delicious cuisine and already has some dishes at local restaurants he frequents.
Please join us in welcoming John to Alpine Communications and the Elkader community.
