Meet The Team | T.J. Dalman

Christina Riviere • July 14, 2021

Well, we are way into the heat of summer now! A new month means a new Meet the Team spotlight. This July, we want to introduce you to Thomas, aka “T.J,” Dalman, who was recently promoted at our Lafayette, Louisiana branch!


Meet the Team: Another Acadiana Talent

T.J. is another homegrown team member. He was born in Lafayette and resides in Carencro. After he graduated from high school, he attended South Louisiana Community College, where he received a certificate in industrial technology. Before joining the GRS team in December 2020, he worked for a small oil field company called Lafayette Electronic Design. Most recently, T.J. was promoted from technician to project manager!


In his spare time, he likes to spend time with his friends and family. His hobbies also include watching sports. His favorite teams are the LSU Tigers, ULL Ragin' Cajuns and New Orleans Saints. Speaking of sports, while writing this article, he shared that he wanted to be an athletic trainer at the professional level when he was younger.


Meet the Team: Already Making Moves

Despite only being with our company about 8 months, T.J. has already proven himself to be an extremely dedicated team member. When I asked him what he likes about working at GRS, he explained, “I love that almost every day is a different job at different locations. It keeps each day interesting.” 


In late June, he continued his education by taking a FSRT certification class that was offered by Guarantee. He said that he learned a lot of new methods and ways to restore damaged structures. We look forward to his growth and are so grateful to have him on our team!


To connect with T.J., send him an email.

Ahh, October. It’s hard to fathom that we’re already on the brink of Halloween — and then, you know how the rest of the year goes. Before long, we’ll be preparing for our last full company meeting, Family Day, and our Thanksmas celebrations. The end of 2025 will be here before we know it! That being said — no matter what the busy season brings — when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always there for you. Meet the Team | Whitney Hampton Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase one of our awesome team members. For October, we are excited to introduce you to Whitney Hampton , one of our Gulfport Business Development Representatives. Gulf Coast Roots & Family Life Whitney was born and raised in New Orleans but has split her time between Louisiana and Mississippi throughout her life. She later moved to Gulfport, where she graduated from high school. As a young adult, she lived in Bossier City, LA. Now, she is back on the coast in Biloxi, where she raises her two children, Kohen and Kobi, with her husband. Education & Professional Background Whitney graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Marketing — SMTTT! This December, she’ll be finishing her master’s in marketing with a specialization in Digital Strategy. Before joining our team in December 2023, she worked in property management. Whitney started in leasing, then was promoted to Community Manager, where she received the Best Marketing Award in 2023 . Life Outside of Work Personally, when she is not working, Whitney is usually busy with “The Adventures of Kohen and Kobi.” They love spending their weekends exploring new places, such as the science museum, zoo, or splash pad. Staying active and making fun memories together is what she enjoys most. Sports are a big part of the Hampton household. They are big Philadelphia Eagles fans — GO BIRDS! They also love the Florida Gators and have attended many games in Gainesville. Saturdays and Sundays are definitely football days in their house.
