Montana lives in the Chicago area with his wife, Sarah, and their five kids. He has an MBA in International Economic Development from Eastern University. He has lived and worked alongside Hindu communities since 2000, including 7 years in India, first as a student of Hindu culture in college, then as a relief and development volunteer after the earthquake in Gujarat and after the tsunami in Tamil Nadu, and finally as a business entrepreneur.
Montana is a voracious reader of cultural history, historical-critical analysis, scientific discoveries, psychology, and fantasy novels. He enjoys camping and biking with his family and working with his hands to make things and fix things. He loves exploring the transformative power of collaborative learning in every area of life: in work meetings, within his own family and community, and in informal get-togethers with other colleagues and friends.
Montana and his family express their devotion to the teachings and example of Jesus using traditional cultural forms and liturgical styles they have continued to learn from Hindu communities.
