Meet the Team | Dwayne Hartley Guarantee Restoration

Christina Riviere • February 9, 2022

Welcome to February! For many people, January is the slowest month of the year. Between the return from the holidays to the colder, freezing temperatures, it never seems to end. I am happy to report, however, that we have made it through once again! 


Like I mentioned last month, we are continuing to spotlight a different team member every month. This month, I am excited to introduce you to Dwayne Hartley, a technician at our Gulfport branch.


Meet the Team: Paw-Paw Dwayne, Bowling & America’s Pastime 

Dwayne was born and raised in Biloxi. Upon his high school graduation, he went straight to work full-time. Before joining our team in October 2021, he worked for Orkin Pest Control for 2 years.


Personally, Dwayne is the father of six children, 3 boys and 3 girls. He explained that when is not working, his five grandkids keep him very busy. They lovingly refer to him as “Paw-Paw.”


In the spare time he does find, he enjoys knocking back a few pins and playing baseball. Dwayne said that his favorite sports team is the New Orleans Saints…Who Dat!


Meet the Team: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work! 

As I was working on this article, I asked him what he likes about working for GRS. He said, “I love the teamwork that is demonstrated each day from the technicians to the project managers to the branch manager.” 


To connect with Dwayne, reach out to him via email.
