Larry Montgomery

Larry leads by example building relationships and delivering best-in-class services as the Director of Carrier Sales and Marketing for ETEX. And, he does it all with remarkable style. Teamwork isn’t a mantra for him, it’s a guiding principle in his life, whether at work, home or in the community. He invests his time and talent in helping others achieve more than they thought possible. In his 25 plus years at ETEX, he’s received accolades from customers, co-workers, state, and national telecommunications industry associations for his innovative and motivational approach to his craft.

East Texas born and raised, Larry grew up heavily influenced by his grandparents, who set the bar modeling a life of service, faith and commitment. They also instilled the importance of life-long learning. Larry paid close attention, and put his nose to the grindstone, foregoing his promising high school sports career to work instead, buying the first of what would turn out to be a lifelong passion for cars. He also took part in a vocational education program to learn about business, that business was ETEX. And, that experience planted a seed.

After graduating from Kilgore College, Larry started his full-time employment with ETEX. He’s held roles in many departments, including customer service, central office, data/video, marketing, engineering and sales. Ask him about any of them and he’ll tell you that regardless of the specific discipline, all of the roles distill to a common denominator, which is the provision of excellent customer service.
