STARTING FROM A YOUNG AGE, ARMY VETERAN ADRIANA YOUNG HAS ALWAYS SOUGHT TO SERVE OTHERS
Adriana Young has found purpose in serving others for most of her adult life. Her focus remains the same, but these days she’s accomplishing her goal as the new owner of Paul Davis Restoration of Central Dallas-Ft. Worth, a branch of one of the most trusted brands in the insurance restoration industry. Her location is based out of a 6,000 square-foot office/warehouse facility in Grand Prairie, Texas, with a fleet of three vehicles.
The backbone of the company comes from what Young calls her “seasoned staff of ‘A’ players” that include a Reconstruction Project Manager, two Mitigation Technicians, an Estimator, Business Developer and General Manager (her husband, Kendrick). Young is responsible for Job Cost Accounting. The territory serves more than 750,000 people between Fort Worth and Dallas.
It should come as no surprise that philanthropy is at the forefront of the hundreds of locations across North America of Paul Davis Restoration, whose teams are recognized as Difference Makers™, honoring daily the company’s mission to “deliver an experience of extraordinary care while serving people in their time of need.” “Paul Davis immediately felt like home to me because their culture aligns with my mission in life to strive for excellence and lead with purpose,” Young said. “My intention is to always do my best and make a positive difference for people. At the end of the day, even the smallest things done this way, bring me happiness. Making a difference is not always easy and sometimes we have to make tough decisions, but having a healthy support system of family, friends and staff is always needed.”
The 42-year-old Young, a resident of Coppell, Texas, is a United States Army veteran who enlisted in the military in 2000 when she was 19 and served six years. She said she was honored to serve her country and learned some valuable lessons in the process.
“Joining at the young age of 19 helped me to grow and taught me more than just discipline and leadership,” Young said. “The Army instilled in me the idea to practice continuous improvement and to serve others. That helped me to move to this career. It continues to give me so much in the way of well-being, lifelong friendships, and the responsibility of caring for others.”
Prior to joining Paul Davis Restoration, Young worked as a dental hygienist for 22 years for both non-profits and private practices. “What I loved most about my career was helping people in their time of need, educating, and building a rapport with my patients. I am excited that I am getting those same rewards out of my new career in property restoration,” Young said.
