Our Journey
Meet the Executive Director
Daniel Montgomery is a father, chemist, mentor, and master of "figuring it out". A graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology, Daniel brings scientific insight, attention to detail, and creativity to every part of the process of life. Outside of work, he stays active — whether he’s working out, playing golf, reading, or adding to his deep curiosity and thoughtful perspective on the world around him. Daniel’s purpose is to help people, especially black men, develop self-confidence and self-awareness both personally and professionally. Not only to gain employment in their desired career, but to excel in life. With experience navigating professional spaces that are predominately white, Daniel hopes to use those lessons and skills he's learned to help young men that may face the same trials.
