Rackspace Talent

Monty grew up in Fredericksburg, Virginia, which is located in the suburbs of Washington, DC. While he was attending the University of Virginia, he was lucky enough to secure an internship at Sprint Nextel, sparking his initial interest in network operations. Seeking a “new lease on life” and escaping the busy Northeastern I-95 Corridor, he quit his stable job at a mortgage brokering company in the DC Area and moved to Austin, Texas. Austin’s warm weather, affordability, thriving culture, friendly people, and excellent job opportunities made the move a no-brainer. After receiving three job offers within ten days of arriving in Texas, he accepted his job offer at Rackspace and has been loving his new job ever since.

When he’s not busy providing awesome Fanatical Support® in Network Security, Monty enjoys weightlifting, exploring the city by bike, live music, attending Austin’s many street festivals and public events, going to Zilker Park, and, on weekends, hitting up the Sixth Street nightlife district.
