Richard Montgomery

Richard was born in New Westminster B.C. and moved to Kelowna after graduating from Law School at the University of British Columbia. He joined the law firm, Pushor Mitchell, in 1979. Pushor Mitchell is now the largest law firm in B.C. outside the Vancouver/Victoria area and Richard has established a very successful and busy practice during that time.

Richard is happily married to his wife Oneke; he is the father of four children and values his family time above all else. Aside from a busy family life he still finds time to fit in many recreational activities. Outside of his work hours he enjoys sports, including snow & water skiing, ice hockey and endurance training in aquatics, cycling and running. He also participates in triathlons, extreme holiday expeditions and hearty, back-country, wilderness adventures.

He is president of the Kelowna Apple Triathlon Society, which has hosted the Canadian National Championships, and is an ex-officio director of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association and a director of the Wine Festival Society.

As SomaLife's internal legal council, Richard acts as the liaison for all of SomaLife's law firms. He brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to SomaLife and has been an integral part of the company since 1999.
