Austen Meyer works mainly with industrial clients at ONE Environmental Group, where his specialties include state and federal reporting and the impact of refrigerants and ozone depleting substances on the environment. He enjoys the company culture that fosters a team approach.

“We’re small, but we’re just as competitive as any firm because everyone focuses on different areas, and we all have our overlaps,” he says. “All of us know generally about all environmental topics, but if there’s a specific question I don’t know, I can just pick up the phone and get the answer right away.”

The Chicago native grew up cognizant of the need to recycle and do his part to better the planet for the next generation. He earned a bachelor’s in environmental studies from Texas Christian University and a master’s in environmental planning and management from Johns Hopkins University.

Prior to starting at ONE in September 2019, Austen worked for three years at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia focusing primarily on air quality.

Austen and his wife, Terryn, are parents to a toddler, Wesley. They enjoy exploring Charlotte’s parks and trails in their free time.
