Daniel (Dan) Bumgardner and his wife Patti have lived in Darien since moving here from Manhattan in 1999. Their two children Kelsey (29) and Brendan (26) are proud graduates of Darien High School, where they were active in multiple sports and activities. Dan has been a volunteer coach across Darien Little League softball and baseball, youth soccer and Darien Youth Hockey Association hockey. He has volunteered for the Community Fund and has been on the board of The Country Club of Darien since 2022, for which he currently serves as president. Dan was elected to the Town of Darien’s Board of Finance in 2019 and has served as its vice chairman since 2021.
Dan worked in the banking sector for over 35 years, retiring in 2016. He managed key corporate and private equity relationships for certain banks that now constitute JPMorgan and concluded his career in a similar capacity at Wells Fargo. Dan holds a B.S. in finance from Bowling Green State University and an M.B.A. from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Dan and Patti enjoy traveling, golf and racquet sports, skiing and attending Rangers hockey games with their kids. He is also a lifelong (and long-suffering) Cleveland sports fan.
