Early lifeMontgomery was born in Kaitaia, Northland but moved with his family to Dunedin at a young age, where he attended King's High School. He was an Otago junior representative at both sprinting and rugby union. After moving to Auckland in 1965, he became interested in yachting, a sport with which he has become synonymous in New Zealand.[3] Broadcasting careerMontgomery has broadcast eleven America's Cup regattas, nine Olympic Games and all eleven Whitbread Round the World/Volvo Ocean Races.[4] He has been regularly invited to commentate at major regattas across the world, including The International Sailing Federation World Championships and key regattas on the World Match Racing Tour, including The Bermuda Gold Cup, The Swedish Match Cup and The Monsoon Cup Malaysia. ISAF also chose him to be the first Host / MC for the World Sailor of The Year and Sailing Hall of Fame ceremonies. In addition to commentating and reporting on sailing regattas he has also broadcast many other sports including rowing and rugby. He is the "sideline eye" for the Radio Network "Radio Rugby Team" in Auckland, where his Driz-a-Bone raincoat has become as recognised on the sideline as his microphone.[4] He was chosen to play the America's Cup broadcaster in the 1992 movie Wind to lend authenticity to the racing scenes and is featured in the America's Cup documentary film The Wind Gods. He also performs many public speaking engagements. Awards and membership
