Meet the Team | Billy Hughes

In the famous words of the great songwriter Irving Berlin and song of Andy Williams:

It’s the holiday season, holiday season,

 so it's the holiday season (the holiday season)

So hoop-de-do and dickory dock

And don't forget to hang up your sock

‘Cause just exactly at twelve o'clock

He'll be coming down the chimney, down

(He'll be coming down the chimney, down)

It is certainly the holiday season, and busyness has officially ensued. No matter how busy the month of December gets for our team, I always find time to spotlight at least one team member per month. This December, we would like to introduce you to Billy Hughes, who is a Project Manager at our Lafayette, Louisiana branch!

Meet the Team: An “Air Force Brat” 

Billy was originally born in Biloxi, Mississippi. At the time, his father was stationed at Keesler Air Force Base. As an Air Force brat, he and his family moved several times throughout his life. These places included San Antonio, TX, Rantoul, IL, Ft. Worth, TX, Monroe, LA, Piqua, OH and Lafayette, LA. Because his family moved around so much, he went to 3 high school in 4 years. For his freshman and sophomore years, he attended Comeaux High School in Lafayette. He transferred to Acadiana High School for junior year. Billy finished up his senior year at Lehman Catholic High School in Sidney, Ohio. 

Upon his graduation from high school, he received a football scholarship to Walsh University in Canton, Ohio. He then transferred to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and played football there as well. Billy graduated from there in 2000.

Before joining our GRS team, he built houses for years in Houston and Lafayette. Personally, has been married to his high school sweetheart, Heidi for 11 years. They have three daughters: Anna Louise (20), who is an avid artist; Natalia Marie (12), who loves to sing and do horse shows; and Naloni Marisol (10), who loves art and riding horses. He said that he does not have much spare time, because he described himself as a “Girl Dad!” 

When he isn’t busy raising his daughters, he finds time to watch and support the Ragin Cajuns in football and other sports. Although, he does not care for cooking, he and his family love to go out to eat! 

Meet the Team: It’s Like Family 

Whenever I was working on this blog, I asked him what he likes about working for GRS. He stated, “The culture here is so awesome, it’s like family. I’ve worked for a lot of companies and have never had as much fun as I do here!”
