Meet The Team | Keith Collins

Christina Mullins • Jan 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.

Every time I write the May Meet the Team feature, my first instinct is to start it with “It’s gonna be MAY!” Must be the millennial in me to want to begin it with the iconic *NSYNC track. I digress. We are back with this month’s featured employee, Jordan Steib, who serves as the Marketing Manager of GRS. Jordan was born and raised in the South Louisiana city of Thibodaux. After graduating from high school, he attended Nicholls State University before joining the workforce. He was a Lead Administrative Assistant at the Terrebonne ARC for a decade. When he moved to Baton Rouge in 2017, he served in a few administrative and office management positions before joining our GRS team in December 2019. Since arriving at Guarantee Restoration Services, Jordan as served as administrative support for the Business Development and Marketing department and as an Executive Assistant to our CEO, Shawn Folks. In July 2022, he was promoted to Marketing Manager, where he has thrived in planning and filming most of our video content. During his tenure, he has also hired a marketing assistant, which has vastly improved the department’s functionality and capabilities. He has been instrumental in building and expanding our brand awareness. We have also increased the support we can provide our fellow GRS team members. In addition, we have steadily cultivated a better sense of teamwork and community through our company culture engagement activities, such as National Cocoa Day and “Pumpkins and Pies.” Personally, he is the second born of three sons to his parents, Martha and Damian. He is the proud cat father of Bridgette Anne Steib, who turns 3 years old this month. In his spare time, he has recently taken up home wine making and has really enjoyed the (literal) fruits of his labor. He has made wine with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries and raspberries. His hobbies also include camping, tubing, boating and fishing with friends. Additionally, over the years, he has become quite the home chef and enjoys cooking for himself and having friends over for dinner. He enjoys being creative and decorating for different holidays. Finally, when he can go home to Thibodaux, he enjoys nothing more than spending time with his parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, nephew and nieces.
