Meet The Team | Will Hays

Christina Mullins • Sep 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.

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.
