About Monty
32+ Year Career in the U.S. Navy
I have devoted my life to the service and representation of others. I am a recently retired Navy Captain with over 32 years of Active Duty service. My background is in Naval Aviation flying strike-fighter aircraft (F-14s and FA-18s) on numerous aircraft carriers in multiple combat theaters. I was a hand-selected TOPGUN Instructor where I taught at the pinnacle of the Navy's highest institute of learning. I was also the Commanding Officer of an FA-18 Super Hornet squadron, and the Commanding Officer of a major Navy installation where I was responsible for the safety and well-being of 30,000 personnel, significant budgets, and expansive facilities.
Involved in the Community
My family and I have been deeply rooted and active in the wonderful community of Virginia Beach for many years. Having lived all over this great Nation and the world, unquestionably, the community of Virginia Beach is where we wanted to live and raise a family. I volunteered with Virginia Beach Parks and Rec where I coached youth basketball and oversaw the Thalia-Malibu Rec Basketball League for over eight years. The community of Virginia Beach is a wonderful place to raise a family, and our public schools must remain a strong attribute for the students and our future.
Strongly Values Education
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland and a Master of Arts in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. The promotion of academic excellence in our public schools will ensure the students are best prepared to lead the competition moving forward.
