Olympic Gold Medalist in the SERVPRO Extended Family

3/23/2022 (Permalink)

Growing up in the Michigan Upper Peninsula near a ski hill, our own Beau Baumgartner and his four siblings worked and spent a lot of their free time at the ski hill.  For brother Nick, that turned into a career in snowboarding, with gold & silver medals at 2 Winter X Games, and 4 trips to the Olympics, culminating in a gold medal at the recent Beijing Olympics in 2022.

At the age of 40, Nick competed in the Beijing Games as the oldest American Snowboarder in Olympic history.  But that distinction brought him gold.  Nick and his partner Lindsey Jacobellis, 36, won the first ever Winter Olympics mixed team snowboard cross event.  A mixed team snowboard cross consists of one man and one woman.  In each round the men go down the hill first in groups of four.  When the men cross the finish line, their times are transferred to their teammates.  The women then take off in a staggered format based on the time difference.  The first woman across the line wins.   

We here at SERVPRO of Appleton are lucky to have Nick’s older brother Beau working for us.  Beau joined us in the July of 2021 bringing with him 12 years of experience in the restoration industry with Service Master.  Beau has been a huge asset to us.  It is clear to us that Robert and Mary Baumgartner raised some very hard-working boys.
