Meet The Team | Will Hays

Christina Mullins • September 15, 2021

Fall may be less than a week away, but it certainly does not seem like it along the Gulf Coast. The busiest part of storm season is here, and we are certainly incredibly busy with recovery of Hurricane Ida. No matter what, I always find time to highlight a different team member each month!


For September, we spotlight Will Hays, who is a technician at our Gulfport branch.


Meet the Team: Roll Tide Roll 

Will was born and raised in Orlando, Florida. During his high school years, he and his family moved to the Gulfport, Mississippi area. Upon his high school graduation, he attended Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, where he majored in education and coaching. Although he did not complete that program, he hopes to go back to receive a degree. 


While at MGCCC, Will found himself looking to find trade that was different from what he had initially majored in. Before joining our team in October 2020, he worked in the apartment maintenance industry. Since starting at GRS, he has learned a lot about the restoration industry. Most recently, he has been learning to lead crews and has been working with our large loss team on Hurricane Ida recovery projects in the New Orleans area.


When he is not working, Will likes to spend time with his family and loved ones. He does this by going out to eat, hanging outside or relaxing at the house. He also enjoys watching sports, especially Alabama Crimson Tide Football. 



Meet the Team: We Are Family

As I was working on this article, I asked him what he likes about working at GRS, he stated, “It’s family. The thing I love about working for GRS is that everyone argues, gets stressed out, gets tired, and the list goes on. Despite this, we still show up the next day and punch in to get the job done. We know that we have a lot of respect for each other. This industry is not made for everyone, but we know we can get each and every job done.”


To connect with Will, reach out to him via 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.
