Montez joined the UAlbany women's golf program in February of 2023 as an assistant coach.
In his first, abbreviated, season with the team, Montez helped guide UAlbany to a second place finish in in the MAAC Tournament. However, under coach Cashman, the next season proved to be a turning point. In his first full year as an assistant coach with the Great Danes, Montez played a crucial role in bringing home the program's fourth MAAC Championship and first since 2019. Montez and Cashman coached two top-five finishers at the MAAC Tournament that year in Lucia Esteban (T2) and Katelin Richards (T4). The team would go on to compete in the program's fourth NCAA Tournemant appearance, drawing a selection to the Auburn Regional at the Auburn University Club in Alabama.
Before UAlbany, he spent time time as the head coach of the Whittier women’s golf team in California. Prior to taking the position as the head coach, he spent a year (2019-20) as the assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s programs at Whittier.
Spending some time away from the college athletic world in 2020-22, Montez remained in golf. After serving as the Director of Marketing for Golf Performance Lab, he comes to New York State with marketing and social media experience. He also brings teaching experience from his time as a head and assistant golf professional.
Graduating in 2019, Montez received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State Monterey Bay before continuing his education at San Francisco to earn his master’s in sport management (2021).
