Why David inspires us:
Becoming involved with Saved by Grace was a move that combined personal and professional interests for David. He currently employs six Saved by Grace residents at the Beach Club and from personally offering rides to and from work and providing a second chance for those who are longing for one, David is the epitome of what inspires us at Sea Island.
Why Robert inspires us:
In his 61 years as a Sea Island team member, Robert “Mighty Fine” Davis is an inspiration to guests, members, and team members alike. His positive outlook, willingness to share his wisdom, and speaker expertise in service make any interaction with him the highlight of a visit to the Men’s Locker Room. When asked how his day is, his response is always “Mighty Fine,” earning him the name that most know him by.
Why Chad inspires us:
Chad has served in a variety of roles at Sea Island, while also remaining an active member of the Army National Guard. He is currently deployed for a year overseas and is an inspiration and reminder of the sacrifices our military personnel make.
Why Blake inspires us:
In her day-to-day role, Blake is responsible for supporting our resort General Manager. With her total resort perspective, she is well suited to lead Sea Island Cares, which is an internal team that leads our team members in working with local charities and causes. Her after-hours involvement in these efforts inspires all of us daily.
Why Laurie inspires us:
Laurie started at Sea Island in 2022 and quickly became an integral part of Sea Island Cares in addition to her responsibilities. From assisting with the Second Harvest float set up at the Brunswick Christmas Parade to championing causes such as Hope 1312 Collective, Laurie has inspired others to get involved in our community outreach activities.
My favorite movie is It’s A Wonderful Life. From the storyline of the movie to the many top actors of that time who were in the movie, including my favorite actor, Jimmy Stewart, as lead character!
What I like best about working at Sea Island are the team members, hands down! Back of the house, front of the house; I am privileged every day I come to work starting with the first wave and hello!
My favorite music is Hip-Hop, R&B, and Symphonic.
What I like best about working at Sea Island is getting to make our guests’ vacations special by doing the very most I can do in every interaction. I want our guests to feel welcomed and at home as soon as they walk in the door.
My most prized possessions are my two dogs, Piper and Oakley.
If I could tell my younger self one thing, is that every day is a new day and no two days are the same. Your attitude can make a big difference in your overall happiness!
