Meet The Team | T.J. Dalman

Christina Riviere • July 14, 2021

Well, we are way into the heat of summer now! A new month means a new Meet the Team spotlight. This July, we want to introduce you to Thomas, aka “T.J,” Dalman, who was recently promoted at our Lafayette, Louisiana branch!


Meet the Team: Another Acadiana Talent

T.J. is another homegrown team member. He was born in Lafayette and resides in Carencro. After he graduated from high school, he attended South Louisiana Community College, where he received a certificate in industrial technology. Before joining the GRS team in December 2020, he worked for a small oil field company called Lafayette Electronic Design. Most recently, T.J. was promoted from technician to project manager!


In his spare time, he likes to spend time with his friends and family. His hobbies also include watching sports. His favorite teams are the LSU Tigers, ULL Ragin' Cajuns and New Orleans Saints. Speaking of sports, while writing this article, he shared that he wanted to be an athletic trainer at the professional level when he was younger.


Meet the Team: Already Making Moves

Despite only being with our company about 8 months, T.J. has already proven himself to be an extremely dedicated team member. When I asked him what he likes about working at GRS, he explained, “I love that almost every day is a different job at different locations. It keeps each day interesting.” 


In late June, he continued his education by taking a FSRT certification class that was offered by Guarantee. He said that he learned a lot of new methods and ways to restore damaged structures. We look forward to his growth and are so grateful to have him on our team!


To connect with T.J., send him an email.

Meet The Team | Marcela Argueta

By Christina Mullins • July 9, 2025
Saying Hi to July! The summer is here—and so is the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. No matter what it brings, you can be assured that our team at Guarantee Restoration Services will be there when you need us most. Meet the Team: Marcela Argueta Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase our many awesome team members. For July, we are shining the spotlight on Marcela Argueta , who serves as a Lead Technician at our New Orleans location. She was promoted to that position in January 2025 . From Honduras to GRS Marcela was born and raised in La Ceiba, Honduras , also known as “la novia de Honduras” —which translates to “the bride of Honduras.” She moved to the U.S. in December 2016 after earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras . Marcela is currently approved and ready to take her exam to become a registered nurse in the U.S. Before joining our team in August 2022 , she worked as both a nurse and a homemaker . Life Outside of Work Marcela is a proud mother of two—her son, Sebastian (15) and daughter, Eleanor (5) . When she’s not working, she loves spending quality time with her children and extended family. Fun fact: her half-sister, Brenda , also works at GRS in our Baton Rouge office! One of Marcela’s favorite pastimes is going for walks in the park. She says she often uses this time to meditate and reflect—thinking about what she’s done well and what she could improve.
