Meet The Team | Keith Collins

Christina Mullins • January 12, 2021

If you are ever around Dunlay Lane around 8:00 AM, and you spot someone wearing aviators in the parking lot, it’s more than likely a key member of our mitigation staff. His signature sunglasses can be seen daily outside our corporate office. For this month’s “Meet the Team” blog, we would like to introduce you to Construction Manager, Keith Collins!


MEET THE TEAM: ANOTHER HOMEGROWN TALENT

Keith grew up “across the river.” He is a native of Erwinville, Louisiana, which is a small town in West Baton Rouge Parish. When he was 9, he and his family moved to Franklin, Tennessee near Nashville. A couple years later, the Collins family moved back to Baton Rouge and have been here ever since. He graduated from McKinley High School, where he met our CEO, Shawn Folks. Keith and his twin brother, Ken have been good friends with Shawn since then.


After high school, he went on to study at Louisiana State University. There, he received a Bachelor of Science in General Studies. The G.S. degree included minors in History, Anthropology and Geography.


Since he could walk, Keith worked for his father Wayne’s construction business. Upon his LSU graduation in 2003, he continued working at PWC Construction until joining GRS in February 2019. Recently, Keith was promoted to Construction Manager.


MEET THE TEAM: MORE “FORE” YOUR INFORMATION

Additionally, Keith is the father of two children, Emma (11) and Isla (11). He has been married to his wife, Katherine for two and a half years. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family. The family has three pets, a dog named Rollo, a cat, Indi and a tortoise named Basil. On the weekends, he also enjoys a round or two of golf.

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.
