Austin Pace

Senior News Producer and Sports Reporter

About Me:

I was born and raised in Southeastern Arizona. I am the oldest child and the best older brother my 3 little sisters could ever ask for. My family is everything to me, especially my wife Rachel, and we find ourselves in constant competition on the Pickleball courts where she tends to beat me 95% of the time!

I was also the winner of Gila Valley Idol, a local singing competition, in 2021. I then used those winnings to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Mozambique Beira Mission speaking Portuguese.

My comm background:

As a kid, I never had a problem writing, and I enjoyed it. My genuine interest in journalism started in high school, realizing that Sportscasting is something I would love to do.

I am a Communications major with an emphasis on News and Journalism and am currently working to further my studies to become a Sportscaster.

I have worked with BYU-Idaho Radio since October 2023, first as a Music Programmer, then as the Intern, and now as a Senior News Producer and news and sports reporter.
