Russell Fountain
President & CEO
Russell offers a rare blend of industry knowledge, field expertise and executive leadership. Russell’s origins in the industry began very early, growing up in a family rooted in insurance—his father spent 40 years as a property adjuster. After earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama, he spent the following 15 years as a licensed adjuster across multiple states, gaining hands-on experience in property claims and complex loss scenarios. Mr. Fountain continued his career path, working for an international disaster recovery firm for the next 10 years. He served in various leadership roles, where he managed large-loss recovery operations and coordinated emergency response efforts nationwide. Over a ten-year span, he progressed from estimator and account executive to regional oversight, supporting operations across multiple Gulf Coast states.
In 2017, Russell founded Global Disaster Solutions (GDS), a consulting and disaster recovery firm focused on major property losses and catastrophic events. His experience spans hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, mold, hazardous materials, and biohazard incidents—giving him the insight and credibility to support stakeholders through every stage of a loss.
Today, as CEO of LFG Building Consultants, Russell continues to lead with clarity, integrity, and a deep understanding of the disaster recovery and construction environment. Under his leadership, LFG has grown into a nationally recognized firm known for its technical expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to impartial, high-quality service.
Russell lives in Mobile, Alabama, with his wife and two children.
