Matt Bumgardner began his career as a mechanical engineer after graduating from the University of Tennessee. Drawn to the fast pace and collaborative nature of the construction industry, he transitioned into project management roles where he led complex commercial and institutional builds across the region.

Over time, Matt’s ability to unite teams and drive operational excellence earned him progressive leadership roles, ultimately leading to his current position as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at R.W. Warner, Inc., a Frederick-based commercial construction firm with an 88-year legacy in mechanical, electrical, general contracting, and sheet metal fabrication.

Now a longtime resident of Frederick County, where he lives with his wife Natalie and 4 children, Matt remains actively involved in the local business and nonprofit community, serving on the Board of Directors for the ACE Mentor Program of Frederick, the volunteer committee for the In Honor of Her Foundation, and coaching in the Carroll Manor recreation council.
