When it comes to working your way up in a business, The Starboard’s Steve “Monty” Montgomery knows exactly how it’s done. Over the decades, he has worked his way up in the local restaurant and business world, where he’s also helped host hugely impactful community events like the annual Dewey Goes Pink 5K, in support of the fight against breast cancer, and the annual Running of the Bull that’s attracted Hollywood stars like Ryan Phillipe. From working the door to running the show, Montgomery has expanded from working at The Starboard to running several of the most-popular restaurants at the Delaware beaches.
