Brian Darrell Montgomery (born August 2, 1956) is an American government official. He served as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing within the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development during the administration of George W. Bush. He was confirmed to the position in February 2005 and resigned in July 2009. Currently a partner at business consulting firm Collingwood Group, LLC, he has been nominated by President Donald Trump to return to his former position as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing.
Montgomery is a graduate of the University of Houston and received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. He is an initiate of the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity's University of Texas - Austin chapter. He currently serves on the international Board of Directors for TKE.
From January 2001 until January 2003, Montgomery served as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Advance, and from January 2003 to April 2005, he served as Deputy Assistant to the President and Cabinet Secretary. While serving in the White House, Montgomery contributed to the policy process on a wide range of issues including the administration's efforts to boost homeownership, increase access to affordable housing, and to reform both the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the government sponsored enterprises.
Following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in February 2003, Montgomery headed up a White House working group to monitor all facets of the accident investigation. This ultimately led to the process that developed the President's vision for space exploration. For this effort, Montgomery was awarded the NASA Exceptional Service Medal in June 2004.
