K Blair Ford

I’m an experienced professional with a passion for hands-on work—whether it’s building, fixing, or improving systems. With a background in project management, maintenance, and environmental monitoring, I thrive in roles that involve problem-solving, team coordination, and technical work. I enjoy working with others and finding efficient solutions to challenges in both customer service and project execution.

From my time as a Project Manager at Rev Drilling overseeing infrastructure projects to managing day-to-day maintenance operations at Hardester’s Markets, I’ve developed strong leadership skills and a commitment to continuous learning. My experience as a Landfill Gas Technician further enhanced my ability to manage technical systems and ensure regulatory compliance.

Outside of work, I’ve explored entrepreneurial ventures like headlight restoration and automotive repairs, allowing me to connect with my community while sharpening my technical and customer service skills. My time in the music industry, performing in two bands, also gave me hands-on experience in team collaboration, event coordination, and sales—teaching me creativity, a strong work ethic, and how to balance both the artistic and business sides of a project.

I’m always looking for opportunities to grow, learn, and make a meaningful impact wherever I work.
