Meet the Team | Billy Hughes

December 15, 2021

In the famous words of the great songwriter Irving Berlin and song of Andy Williams:


It’s the holiday season, holiday season,

 so it's the holiday season (the holiday season)

So hoop-de-do and dickory dock

And don't forget to hang up your sock

‘Cause just exactly at twelve o'clock

He'll be coming down the chimney, down

(He'll be coming down the chimney, down)


It is certainly the holiday season, and busyness has officially ensued. No matter how busy the month of December gets for our team, I always find time to spotlight at least one team member per month. This December, we would like to introduce you to Billy Hughes, who is a Project Manager at our Lafayette, Louisiana branch!

 

Meet the Team: An “Air Force Brat” 

 

Billy was originally born in Biloxi, Mississippi. At the time, his father was stationed at Keesler Air Force Base. As an Air Force brat, he and his family moved several times throughout his life. These places included San Antonio, TX, Rantoul, IL, Ft. Worth, TX, Monroe, LA, Piqua, OH and Lafayette, LA. Because his family moved around so much, he went to 3 high school in 4 years. For his freshman and sophomore years, he attended Comeaux High School in Lafayette. He transferred to Acadiana High School for junior year. Billy finished up his senior year at Lehman Catholic High School in Sidney, Ohio. 


Upon his graduation from high school, he received a football scholarship to Walsh University in Canton, Ohio. He then transferred to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and played football there as well. Billy graduated from there in 2000.


Before joining our GRS team, he built houses for years in Houston and Lafayette. Personally, has been married to his high school sweetheart, Heidi for 11 years. They have three daughters: Anna Louise (20), who is an avid artist; Natalia Marie (12), who loves to sing and do horse shows; and Naloni Marisol (10), who loves art and riding horses. He said that he does not have much spare time, because he described himself as a “Girl Dad!” 


When he isn’t busy raising his daughters, he finds time to watch and support the Ragin Cajuns in football and other sports. Although, he does not care for cooking, he and his family love to go out to eat! 


Meet the Team: It’s Like Family 

 

Whenever I was working on this blog, I asked him what he likes about working for GRS. He stated, “The culture here is so awesome, it’s like family. I’ve worked for a lot of companies and have never had as much fun as I do here!” 


To connect with Billy, 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.
