Meet the Team | Christie Claudio

Christina Mullins • July 13, 2022

Hello there, July! As it usually does, the summer is flying on by. Our team is bracing themselves for what has been predicated to be another busy hurricane season.


Each month, we recognize one team member that has really made an impact. The spotlights rotate between branches. For July, it is Gulfport’s turn. We would like to introduce you to Christie Claudio, who serves as a Project Manager. Find out more about her below!


Meet the Team: Puerto Rican-raised to U.S. Veteran 

Christie was born and raised in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico. At the age of 22, she joined the U.S. Army and moved to America. She served in the Army as a Logistics Specialist for 6 years.


After being discharged, she worked for about five and a half years for Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi. She started out as a carpenter and was eventually promoted to Carpenter Foreman.


In addition to her prior experience in construction, she received an MBA in Project Management from Columbia Southern University in Orange Beach, Alabama. She joined our team in March 2022.


Whenever she is not working, Christie said that she spends a lot of time spending time and creating memories with her family. She is married to her wife Valerie. They have two sons, Zaid (11) and Zarek (6).


She also enjoys cooking and watching sports. Her favorite team of all time is the Cleveland Guardians of the MLB. She also loves watching the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and the NFL’s Green Bay Packers. 



Meet the Team: Help Others When We Are Needed Most 

While I was writing this blog, I asked her what he likes about working for Guarantee. She explained, “What I love about working at GRS is the company culture and the opportunity to help others when we are needed the most. I love to see our customers’ faces when they see the complete results of our work.

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.
