Meet the Team | Brendan Copeland

Christina Mullins • August 10, 2022

Summer has almost come and gone. August has arrived, and school is back in session. By now, the busiest time of hurricane season is upon us. Our team continues to prepare themselves for anything that comes our way. 


On a monthly basis, a different team member is chosen to be featured in our employee newsletter, as well as this Meet the Team article. For August, we shine the spotlight on Brendan Copeland, who is a Baton Rouge technician. Learn more about him below!


Meet the Team: Homegrown Talent 

Brendan was born and raised in Baton Rouge. After high school, he began his career working for Hood Container, which is a paper mill located in St. Francisville. From there, he joined the Guarantee team in May 2021. 


Whenever he is not working, he enjoys “hitting the links.” Golf is by far his favorite sport to play. Speaking of sports, he also likes watching college football. His favorite team is the LSU Tigers! Finally, he also likes working on cars.


Meet the Team: Every Day is Different 

As I was writing this blog, I asked him what he likes about working for GRS. He stated, “I love the work atmosphere and enjoy how every day is something different. No project or job is the same.”


I also asked him what he learned recently to which he said, “I have learned how to lead temp crews more efficiently to make jobs run smoother.” He had to utilize this especially on a recent fire job at a local junior high school.

Ahh, October. It’s hard to fathom that we’re already on the brink of Halloween — and then, you know how the rest of the year goes. Before long, we’ll be preparing for our last full company meeting, Family Day, and our Thanksmas celebrations. The end of 2025 will be here before we know it! That being said — no matter what the busy season brings — when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always there for you. Meet the Team | Whitney Hampton Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase one of our awesome team members. For October, we are excited to introduce you to Whitney Hampton , one of our Gulfport Business Development Representatives. Gulf Coast Roots & Family Life Whitney was born and raised in New Orleans but has split her time between Louisiana and Mississippi throughout her life. She later moved to Gulfport, where she graduated from high school. As a young adult, she lived in Bossier City, LA. Now, she is back on the coast in Biloxi, where she raises her two children, Kohen and Kobi, with her husband. Education & Professional Background Whitney graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Marketing — SMTTT! This December, she’ll be finishing her master’s in marketing with a specialization in Digital Strategy. Before joining our team in December 2023, she worked in property management. Whitney started in leasing, then was promoted to Community Manager, where she received the Best Marketing Award in 2023 . Life Outside of Work Personally, when she is not working, Whitney is usually busy with “The Adventures of Kohen and Kobi.” They love spending their weekends exploring new places, such as the science museum, zoo, or splash pad. Staying active and making fun memories together is what she enjoys most. Sports are a big part of the Hampton household. They are big Philadelphia Eagles fans — GO BIRDS! They also love the Florida Gators and have attended many games in Gainesville. Saturdays and Sundays are definitely football days in their house.
