Outdoors enthusiast Kyle Blandford regards himself as a simple guy who is not a fan of office politics. That’s among the many reasons why he never wants to leave ONE Richmond Group, which he calls “a small company with no headquarters drama. It’s just full of lots of good people.”

The Newport News native earned his bachelor’s in environmental science at the College of William and Mary. He held project management positions for several companies before settling in at ONE in 2012. He manages multiple projects, including due diligence, industrial hygiene and brownfields.

Kyle and his wife, Beth Anne, have two sons, Drew and Eric, and they dote on their rescue dog, Captain. He still takes every opportunity to be outdoors whether it’s for sailing on the Northern Neck, hiking, mountain biking or camping.
