Meet the Team | Demetrius Smith
We are well into June already! The summer is almost here (officially, anyway). Our team is gearing up from what has been predicted to be another active hurricane season.
If you have been following us for a while, you may have noticed that each month, we highlight a different team member at one of our five branches. This month, we are very excited to introduce you to Demetrius Smith, who serves as a Project Manager at our Jackson, Mississippi office. Read more about him below!
Meet the Team: Chicago to Mississippi, Finding His Way
Demetrius was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. When he was 15, he and his family moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1995.
After high school, he attended trade schools, trying his hand at different crafts. These included barber school and heavy equipment operation. Before starting at GRS in June 2020, Demetrius worked in different levels of construction or cleaning. Naturally, Guarantee Restoration was the perfect fit for his career path.
In fact, Demetrius started off by being hired as a technician at our Gulfport location. Whenever our second Mississippi location opened in Jackson, he moved there to continue working as a tech. Recently, he has been promoted to a Project Manager!
When he is not working, he enjoys spending time with his family. He is the father of five children: Chris (24), Jodarius (19), Jada (17), Braylon (8) and Brooklyn (6).
On any given Sunday, you can find him watching football! Demetrius is a huge fan of the Chicago Bears...THA BEARS FOR LIFE!! In addition, he loves outdoor grilling, cooking seafood and exercising.
Meet the Team: Starts with the People
While I was writing this blog post, I asked him what he likes about working for Guarantee. He stated, “It starts with the people. The family work environment is great. No day is the same. The opportunities for advancement are great.”
