The son of an avionics technician, Matt Bremer attended college in Milford, NE and graduated with an electronic engineering degree, intending to get into an avionics position himself.  However, he ended up taking a job with Herzog Services and was sent to Alaska immediately after being hired.  Realizing that working in a remote (and cold!) location was not for him, Matt resigned and came back to Lincoln to begin looking for a new career.  He found Engineered Controls in 2006 and was hired on as a service technician.  His skills in customer service and troubleshooting were soon recognized and he was promoted to Service Manager for the Lincoln office.  His main responsibilities are to maintain a well-trained and equipped service team that keeps customer satisfaction levels high.

As a Service provider, Matt gets to work with customers on a long-term basis as opposed to his colleagues in the new construction department, who often do not get to work with customers again after their project is finished.  Matt especially enjoys developing relationships with customers over the years and getting to know them and their service needs on many levels.  His expertise in electronics, programming and networking allow him to utilize technology to enhance his team and provide greater customer service.

Since being promoted to Service Manager, Matt is excited to get involved with more community and leadership organizations in the Lincoln area.  He and his wife Amber were married in early 2016 and are expecting their first child, a boy.  They live in Lincoln and enjoy traveling to visit their large extended family throughout the United States.  When not traveling, they spend time with their nearby friends and relatives going to sporting events, concerts and other local activities.

Roy’s management and training success comes from his strong experience in the field, where he learned how much easier and smoother a project goes when you have everything organized and a plan in place.  This has helped him to manage projects and coordinate personnel effectively.

The team atmosphere of Engineered Controls is one of Roy’s favorite aspect of the company and he is appreciative of the fact that everyone contributes to help a project come together and satisfy the customer.

Outside of work, Roy is a member of the Sterling Community Association (his hometown) as well as a Booster Club member at the Sterling Public Schools.  He is also very involved with the St. Mary Catholic Church.  He and his wife Mandy have a six-year-old, Bryce, a three-year-old, Hailey, and a 10-month-old son named Owen.  They enjoy spending time together with their families doing as many activities as possible including hunting, fishing, sports activities and just being outdoors.
