Our History

We began our first wireless internet broadcast in 2004, northwest of town in Hidden Valley. Born out of necessity, this first network proved to be a challenge as there was not a lot of choice in quality commercial wireless equipment at the time. As the years passed, however, equipment quality and availability improved, and the number of customers grew. In 2013 we made the decision to take our services and coverage to a whole new level and within four years we went from covering a few select areas around the county, to almost the entire county of La Plata…and we’re still growing. We are proud of the products we offer and the personable customer service we are known for. If you want to find out more about us, or have questions about our service, please contact us and we’ll be happy to chat with you. If you aren’t our customer today, we hope you will be soon!

Mission Statement

Through innovation, vision, and the use of advanced technology, we are committed to delivering cost-effective, high speed internet access to under-served communities. And recognizing the value of partnerships, we engage with our community to cultivate reciprocal business relationships that encourage growth and further elevate standards of service.

The people who built AlignTec from the ground up — and still show up every day.

Cynthia Dow, Co-Owner and VP of Finance at AlignTec

Cynthia Dow

Co-Owner / VP of Finance

Cynthia is a hip chick who loves numbers…like, REALLY LOVES numbers. It scares most everyone in the office to see the maniacal look on her face when she's staring at a screen full of numbers. Creepy..

Highlights

  • Keeps the books balanced — and the team in check
  • Founding member since Aligned Technologies (1996)
  • The reason AlignTec's finances are always in order
Mark Petrocchi, Co-Owner and VP of Technology at AlignTec

Mark Petrocchi

Co-Owner / VP of Technology

Mark? Oh, Mark. Hmmm…aha, got it! Mark is really good at putting puzzled looks on people's faces. We all have to keep spray bottles at our desk to chase him out of our offices when he's being bad.

Highlights

  • Architect behind AlignTec's wireless network expansion
  • Driven the county-wide coverage growth since 2013
  • Fluent in tech — less fluent in staying out of trouble
Clay Atkisson, Co-Owner and VP of Field Operations at AlignTec

Clay Atkisson

Co-Owner / VP of Field Operations

Clay is sorta like the little engine that could. No field task is too daunting for this guy. And when he's not in the field, he's haunting the tech cave while in preparation for another campaign into the field.

Highlights

  • The field ops backbone of AlignTec since day one
  • No mountain, mesa, or rooftop too remote
  • Equal parts engineer, explorer, and relentless problem-solver
