Board of Directors
Ashley Montgomery - Chair
Ashley is a native of Prince George’s County and graduated from Bowie State University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration. Throughout his childhood, Ashley loved football but experienced adversity in his household. After much persistence, him mother took him up to the local Bowie Boys and Girls Club to connect with Coach Sonny Kimball. It was this relationship that became the most impactful in Ashley's life. Sonny picked up Ashley for practice over the next three years to assist his single mom. The consistent sacrifice of Coach Sonny is what laid the groundwork and provided the spirit with which Mentoring Through Athletics was founded: The commitment to serving student-athletes by showing up as more than a coach but as a mentor, too. Since the inception of the organization, Ashley has desired to impact lives on and off the field of athletic play, and he encourages his mentor-coaches to do the same.
