Robert L. Montgomery Relėv President Chairman and CEO founded Relėv International in 1988 along with his wife Sandra after they experienced personal benefits from the nutritional discoveries of their friend Dr. Theodore P. Kalogris. Between 1970 and 1980 Bob distinguished himself in the business world becoming executive vice president and second largest shareholder of Modern Income Life Insurance Company now based in Phoenix AZ. Bob helped build the company into a $250 million business before selling his stock and retiring at age 38.
He came out of retirement in 1981 to help start Spectrum Foods a food research and manufacturing firm in Decatur IL that developed such consumable products as soy ice cream and soymilk. Bob sold that company in 1985 but his interest in developing healthy products remained. Motivated even more by rapid recovery from brain surgery the Montgomerys investigated a way to bring Dr. Kalogris' nutritional supplementation to market. Relėv International using the direct sales concept of network marketing was born. |
