Welcome to the team, AJ Atencio

AJ Atencio recently joined the Ciello team as a fiber technician, bringing nearly 10 years of industry experience with him. Prior to joining Ciello, AJ worked for Spectrum installing cable Internet and troubleshooting Internet and phone service issues. 

AJ said his interest in fiber optics and wanting to learn more about fiber Internet technology is what originally drew him to Ciello. In his role, he helps with fiber installation, fiber splicing and customer service, helping ensure customers receive the best possible experience. 

“One thing I really enjoy is learning more about fiber and how it works,” AJ shared. “I also enjoy helping customers get connected or fixing their Internet issues. Everyone here has been so kind and helpful during this new journey.” 

As he continues learning the system and becoming more familiar with fiber routes and wireless tower locations throughout the Valley, AJ says he’s excited for the opportunities ahead. 

AJ is a San Luis Valley native who grew up in Manassa and currently lives in La Jara. He graduated from Centauri High School and has been married to his wife Tiffany for nearly 19 years. Together they have three children: RaeLee, Jason and Jaelyn. Outside of work, AJ enjoys spending time with family, attending his kids’ sporting events and riding side-by-sides with family and friends. 

“I’m excited to start this new chapter with Ciello,” AJ said. “SLVREC/Ciello is such a friendly and supportive place to work.”
