Wilson’s entrepreneurial journey includes founding Guardian Facility Management, a successful janitorial and maintenance services company based in Houston, and Guardian Financial Services, a national tax preparation firm specializing in solutions for adjusters and business professionals. Prior to joining Guardian Restoration Group of Georgia, Wilson served as Business Development Manager for a Georgia-based restoration company, where he deepened his expertise in mitigation, reconstruction, and customer relations.

Wilson holds a Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) certification from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and is currently pursuing additional designations including Applied Structural Drying (ASD), Commercial Drying Specialist (CDS), Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician (FSRT), and Odor Control Technician (OCT). His dedication to professional excellence and ongoing education exemplifies the Company’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards in restoration practice. 

In addition to his leadership at Guardian, Wilson serves as President of the Greater Eastside Chamber of Commerce and President/CEO of the Greater Eastside Alliance, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization focused on workforce development, economic growth, and business training. Through the Greater Eastside Alliance, he is also an approved education provider with the Georgia Department of Insurance, offering continuing education programs for licensed property adjusters and property and casualty agents statewide. 

The establishment of Guardian Restoration Group of Georgia was made possible through a strategic partnership built on operational expertise, financial acumen, and a shared dedication to ethical business practices. As Managing Member and Operations Manager, Wilson oversees daily operations, client engagement, and business development—ensuring every project upholds the company’s core values of integrity, transparency, and service excellence. 

“Every homeowner deserves honesty, respect, and expertise when their world is turned upside down,” said Wilson. “Guardian was built to restore more than walls and floors — we restore peace of mind. With every project, we’re proving that compassion and professionalism can coexist in this business.”
