Levi Baumgrass
Levi Baumgrass is the ultimate serial entrepreneur and owner of multiple Atlanta-based businesses operating under the Baumgrass Consulting umbrella. At 35, he's built a multi-business empire that includes Baumgrass Consulting (home remodeling), Tree Hero Contractors, and Baumgrass Painting, while previously operating businesses in micro greens farming, automotive services, and digital production. Starting as a forklift operator while earning his psychology degree, Levi's entrepreneurial journey includes mobile mechanic work, valet management, day trading, business consulting, and catastrophe claims inspection work. His path to field service success began after a workplace injury led him to pursue insurance claims inspection, where he learned the systems, technology, and professionalism required to build scalable service businesses. Levi's approach combines what he calls "the gift of mastery" - appearing expert even when learning something new - with relentless grit and the willingness to take on jobs he doesn't yet know how to complete. His 2024 Super Service Award from Angie's List and consistent five-star reviews demonstrate how this fearless learning approach creates exceptional customer experiences.
