As August comes to a close, we’re celebrating the people behind the properties.
This month, 108 Bland team members are celebrating work anniversaries.
To celebrate, we’re spotlighting milestone anniversaries this month, including:
- Jose Aceves Ascencio: 20 years
- Brandon Eversole: 9 years
- Reed Thorndyke: 8 years
- Justin Vaughan: 12 years
Thank you to every single one of our team members for all your hard work. Each anniversary reflects the pride, care, and commitment we bring to work every day.
After all, the Bland Difference starts with our people.
We’ll use Reed Thorndyke to illustrate: Eight years ago, Reed joined Bland fresh out of college, looking for an opportunity to learn, grow, and make an impact. From the beginning, Reed brought a level of energy, drive, and passion that stood out. He took on challenges, continued to grow as a leader, and never lost the desire to make the people and teams around him better.
Today, Reed is our Western Regional Director, a role he earned by working his way through the organization and consistently demonstrating what leadership at Bland is all about. Reed leads with a passion for excellence. He inspires and motivates his teams, holds a high standard for the work we deliver, and makes sure the Bland Difference is something our clients and teammates experience with each job.
His story is a great example of what can happen when talented people are given an opportunity, supported in their growth, and willing to put in the work.
We’re proud of the landscapes we create, but even more grateful for the people who choose to build them with us.
Thank you to everyone who continues to grow with us.
