Meet the Team | Walt Clark

Christina Mullins • January 12, 2022

Is it too late to say Happy New Year? Well even if it is, Happy New Year anyway! Our team at Guarantee Restoration Services is thrilled to get 2022 started! We know that we will only build on the success we had in 2021.


For 2022, we will continue our monthly Meet the Team blog series. As the Marketing Manager, I work with our Human Resources department to select a team member at a different branch each month. This January, we are excited to introduce you to Walt Clark, who serves as a Project Manager at our Jackson, Mississippi branch! 


Meet the Team: Jackson Born and Raised 

Like many of our employees, Walt was born and raised in the city where he works. He is a Jackson native. After high school, he went on to college at the University of Mississippi. In Oxford, he majored and got a degree in Marketing.


Prior to joining our team, Walt owned his own dry-cleaning business for 23 years. After his house caught on fire in 1999, he started cleaning fire-damaged clothes. He stated that he was the guy in the old Allstate commercial frying the turkey. Later, he sold the cleaners and went to work for a nationwide facility services company. He joined the GRS team in November 2021.


Personally, Walt is engaged to his fiancé, Rachel who he will wed on March 19, 2022.  He has  three children: two sons, Fletcher (22) and Griffin (24), and one daughter, Emma Chandler (27). Once he is married, he will gain three "bonus kids!" Their names are Cooper (26), Porter (21) and Sydney (18).


In his free time, he loves to watch football. His favorite teams are the Ole Miss Rebels and New Orleans Saints. He also enjoys cooking, traveling, fishing and hunting. Walt said that his favorite place he has traveled to is the Dominican Republic.



Meet the Team: Awesome Company Culture

As I was working on this blog, I asked him what he likes about working for GRS. He said, “The support, communication and culture is awesome. It makes me want to get up and go to work every morning. I really enjoy what I do and the folks I get to work with on a daily basis.” 


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

At Guarantee Restoration Services, our people are at the heart of everything we do. This month, we’re excited to introduce Christy Jones Huff , a Business Development Representative at our Jackson, Mississippi Branch who joined the team just over a year ago in January 2024 . From Property Management to Business Development Christy’s journey to GRS started long before she stepped through our doors. A Jackson State University graduate , she earned her degree in Mass Communications/Public Relations with a minor in Marketing . She then spent 19 years as a property manager , gaining invaluable experience in building relationships and problem-solving, which are skills that now serve her well in business development. It is safe to say that she is well-versed in the multifamily vertical that we serve, but she also works with several other industries, such as state entities and housing authorities.  Life Outside of Work Originally from Farmhaven, MS , Christy stays busy outside of work with a full house. She’s married, a proud mom to a college-aged son, and spends most of her free time keeping up with a very active toddler —a job she jokingly refers to as "taming a toddler." When she finds a rare quiet moment, she enjoys crafting, though she explained that those moments are few and far between these days.
