Introduction
After graduating from Colorado Mesa University, Austin began his professional journey with Timberline
Bank in 2017. Early in his career, he discovered a strong passion for supporting small businesses. This

securing over $100 million in aid for numerous companies throughout Colorado, further cementing his
passion for serving small business across the state.
In the years that followed, Austin continued to provide comprehensive support in both business and personal
