Meet The Team | Eric Pecoraro

Happy June! It’s hard to believe that almost half of 2023 has come and gone. June 1st marked the first day of storm season. Our team is ready to respond, restore and reoccupy should a disaster occur. This month, we would like to introduce you to Eric Pecoraro, who is a technician at our Lafayette branch!

Eric was born and raised in Lafayette. After graduating from Acadiana High School, he was an associate in the sports department at Academy. He joined our team in May 2021 and just celebrated his second work anniversary. 

Personally, Eric is a new Dad to his son River, who is five months old. In his spare time, he enjoys hunting and fishing. He really loves watching sports, especially baseball and football. His favorite teams are LSU and the New Orleans Saints.  

In addition, I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He stated, “Growing up, my dream job was to be a coach or something that has to do with sports. The sports world has my heart." 

As I wrote this article, I also posed the question asking him what he likes about working for GRS. Eric responded, “I love the people I work with! Being able to work with my brother and my best friend every day definitely makes this job a lot easier.” Working for Guarantee Restoration Services actually runs in the Pecoraro Family, as his older brother Jacob has worked for our team since June 2018. 

Finally, he gave some advice to both our team members and leaders. He said, “For my fellow employees, my advice is be kind to one another and help each other out. It could be helping out with paperwork or showing someone how to do something in a more efficient way. As techs, we have to have each other's backs. My advice for leaders would be communication. Making sure that everyone understands what needs to be done and for it to be done the right way. Understanding the job in its entirety helps it go smoothly each time.”
