The undercurrent of his career has been a firm belief in the power of education, both receiving and imparting it. Baumgart’s commitment to training the next generation of technicians has been instrumental in maintaining a forward-thinking mindset in an industry heavily influenced by technological advancement. As he approaches retirement, he leaves behind an influential legacy, advising the budding workforce to remain open to the possibilities the HVAC industry offers, and, above all, to “be good.” Baumgart has reaped the benefits of a career in the HVAC industry and he hopes the upcoming younger generation can find the work rewarding.
