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.

For five and a half years, I’ve had the privilege of writing our Meet the Team blog series. About two years into my role, our department grew with the addition of a third team member. This November, I’m excited to introduce you to someone who has already made a positive impact on our team — our GRS Marketing Assistant, Savannah Dear . As we approach Thanksgiving in just two short weeks, it’s hard to believe the holiday season is nearly here. No matter how busy this time of year becomes, one thing remains constant: when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always here for you . Meet the Team | Savannah Dear Savannah was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and raised in Clinton, Mississippi. After graduating from Clinton High School in 2018, she attended the University of Mississippi, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Integrated Communication in 2023. In January 2024, she moved to Baton Rouge and began a career in Sales and Marketing with Orange Theory Fitness. We were thrilled to welcome her to the GRS team on August 26, 2024 . Life Outside of Work When Savannah isn’t assisting with social media content, organizing inventory, or supporting our sales team, she loves getting to know Baton Rouge. Her favorite pastimes include exploring the city, trying new restaurants with her boyfriend Jeremiah, spending time with friends, attending concerts, and playing with her dog, Honey. Singing is one of her favorite ways to unwind, and she will never turn down a karaoke night! She’s also an avid traveler, reality TV enthusiast, and sports fan. Her favorite teams include the New Orleans Pelicans, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Commanders, and her beloved — and slightly apologetic — Ole Miss Rebels.
