Having learned about That 1 Painter from a friend and fellow franchisee, Josh Montana, and through That 1 Painter’s founder, Steven Montgomery’s father, Tim Montgomery. They worked together in car sales, and as he heard from Tim about the company’s growth, and decided it was time to make a change. He had already been looking for franchise opportunities and decided to take the leap of faith with That 1 Painter.

Within the transition from car sales to becoming a franchise owner, he was able to network and find a solid team of painters in San Antonio to work with. He would go to local Sherwin-Williams stores to also network with their employees and potential customers. Along with this networking, he is able to work with fellow That 1 Painter franchisee Josh Montana of That 1 Painter NE San Antonio and they are able to share a crew.
