More Than a Business.
A Family Legacy.

Jerry Healand Reeves III built Resort Services, Inc. from nothing but conviction and hard work. Born in Birmingham, Alabama and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, Jerry graduated from Greenville High School before earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Duke University. After more than twenty years with Union Camp, he and his wife Mary made Bluffton their home and saw an opportunity no one else had acted on.

In 1972, with twelve employees and two customers, Jerry and Mary founded RSI. What began as a modest Lowcountry operation grew — through decades of personal commitment and uncompromising standards — into a 200-employee, seven-days-a-week regional institution serving hotels, hospitals, and restaurants from Charleston to Brunswick. His five sons grew up working alongside him, and upon Jerry's passing on October 20, 2013, assumed full owner-operator responsibility.

Jerry's legacy lives in the 30+ year customer relationships RSI maintains, the employees whose families have worked here for generations, and the guiding principle the company still carries today: "The Reeves family's commitment to excellence in quality, service, and customer satisfaction will always be the primary objective of our company."

Jerry H. Reeves brings the third generation of Reeves family leadership into a new era for Resort Services. A Georgia Tech graduate with a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering and an MBA in Management of Technology, he carries forward the engineering profession his grandfather built this company on — and adds to it twenty years of experience managing complex operations, technical teams, and customer relationships across energy, manufacturing, and technology industries.

That background shapes how Jerry approaches the business today: with an engineer's eye for process, a manager's instinct for people, and a developer's enthusiasm for growth. He joined RSI to apply those capabilities where they matter most — modernizing operations, expanding the customer base, and positioning a family institution for the decades ahead.

Outside the business, Jerry is active in the communities RSI serves — serving on nonprofit boards, mentoring entrepreneurs, and coaching youth sports in the Lowcountry. The same commitment that has defined the Reeves family in business shows up in how they live.
