Who doesn’t love a good puzzle? A good mystery to solve? Austin Behrend enjoys it so much, he decided to make it his profession. As System and Data Analyst for Alpine Communications, Austin gathers data and puts together the pieces to help with processes and procedures, visualize data through charts and graphs, and identify areas which may need attention.
Austin joined Alpine Communications in May of 2022 and it has been a whirlwind of learning since day one. He knows first-hand the learning opportunity Alpine gives their employees. “The opportunities given by Alpine are always relative and informational with no wasted movement,” he says. “There are so many opportunities to grow and learn.”
He appreciates being able to work with co-workers with more experience to help him better understand the puzzle pieces. Technology has changed a lot over the years and having access to people that know how it has evolved helps identify how it got here. Austin likes that Alpine is a local company that emphasizes respect and care for their customers and is thankful to be part of the team.
Austin originated from Garnavillo, graduating from Clayton Ridge High School, and after high school spent time in Wyoming attending the University of Wyoming for two years. He worked as a policy service technician at Mountain West Farm Bureau before moving home to Iowa where he resides with his father, Michael Behrend, and dog, Tater. He enjoys being back to spend time hanging out with his younger brother Dalton and younger sister Chianne. Along with being with family, Austin enjoys video and table games, fishing, camping, going to metal concerts and hanging out with friends.
Austin excels at being open minded and willing take on new challenges. As he continues to learn how to drill into data, we look forward to the puzzles coming together and revealing a picture of how we can help better serve our customers and produce results to make our services and our customer experiences even better.
Please join me in welcoming Austin Behrend to Alpine Communications and back to NE Iowa.
