BOARD MEMBER
Austin Katje has been a driving force within the Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire
(HBASE) since joining in 2023.
Originally from Orange City, Iowa, Austin stayed close to home and attended Dordt University, where he earned a degree in Business
Management with an emphasis in accounting.
After graduating, Austin quickly discovered that accounting wasn’t the right fit. His career path pivoted toward project management,
ultimately leading him to his current role as Director of Operations at Veldhouse Construction.
Joining the HBASE Board was an easy decision for Austin. He was eager to find opportunities to positively influence the future of the
construction industry in Sioux Falls and surrounding areas. Austin brings his leadership and collaborative mindset to the Workforce
Development and Local Government Affairs Committees, where his contributions continue to make an impact.
Outside of work, Austin’s time is devoted to his family—his wife, Liz, and their three children: Ivy, Juna, and Owen. Austin’s biggest
personal goal is to grow as a spiritual leader for his family, ensuring his children are raised with a strong Christian foundation.
Austin’s motto? “How you do anything is how you do everything.” A fitting mantra for a leader who gives his all to both his
professional and personal life!
Quick little fun fact about Austin is that he holds the career record for 3-point shots made at Dordt University!
