Work Background

Red Staffing LLCFounder and CEO

Nov. 2021United StatesBorn from a Hurricane called Maria that devastated Puerto Rico, the predecessor of RED Staffing had gone on to provide some of the best people and equipment for other Temporary Power missions at the Federal and State levels. In the last 3 years, we have deployed people and equipment to Saipan, Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, New York, Massachusetts, and Covid 19 response to response Florida and South Carolina. Recognizing the exceptional team members that we use during our emergency missions made sense to leverage the successful recruiting tools developed into a Staffing business. RED Staffing has now taken over to deliver the same emergency-focused services and much more. We have expanded into the Regular Generator Business for residential, commercial, medical, marine, various government agencies and Solar Farms, Logistics facilities, and communications.
