My name is Alicia Kastner and I have been with NU-Telecom for a little over a year as a Sales and Support Associate at the Springfield location. I enjoy working at NU-Telecom because I get the chance to be part of a great team and I get to work with many people within the community. When I am not at the office, I enjoy being with my husband Troy and my 3 beautiful girls. We enjoy being outside camping, four wheeling and now coming up again this spring much of our spare time will be spent in the field, rock picking. I am involved in my community by being an active member on the Retail Committee for the City of Springfield along with donating my time to my church and school district. Dan Howard Goodhue My name is Dan Howard and I’m starting my 25th year as a Customer Service Technician at NU-Telecom’s Goodhue location. My favorite thing about my job is that every day is something new, and I get to meet the customers face to face. My fellow co-workers are great to work with and keep each day interesting. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife Dianne, our daughter Sarah, and daughter Alyssa and son-in law Nate and the newest addition to the family – our granddaughter Alayah. Hunting and ice fishing are also great pastimes and visiting the North Shore as much as possible. I also volunteer for the city to maintain the local ice rink, playground and ball field.
