Driven by a desire to understand construction from the ground up, Matt took on a variety of roles that built the foundation for what would become Weatherford Construction Group. From the start, he knew his ultimate goal was to create a company that reflects his values of quality, integrity, and innovation — a vision he now brings to life with every project.
As Founder and President, Matt is actively involved in all projects, ensuring each client receives the attention, communication, and craftsmanship that define WCG’s reputation.
