Rob Montgomery

CEO & Co-Founder

Rob brings a decade of experience running internet based businesses along with a strong entrepreneurial spirit. He thoroughly enjoys the learning and challenges that come with starting new businesses.

After graduating from Purdue University in 1990, Rob began his first career as an Aerospace Engineer. He spent 7 years in the industry, most notably working on the design team for the USAF F-22 Raptor.

With the rapid growth of the internet in the mid-90's, Rob's entrepreneurial spirit was calling. In 1998 Rob left the aerospace industry and went on to start his first business in 1999, a web development company, and he now has several very successful internet related businesses under his belt. He is confident that Ogopogo Media will far surpass all previous business accomplishments.

As a “lapsed student”, René is in his fourth year of a Bachelor of Science degree in UBC-O, and has completed his second year of a Bachelor of Business Admin degree from Okanagan College. He intends to complete these, but career and family growth continue to confound this goal.
