In 1971, Monte was selected as one of American’s top 5,000 high school students as published in the annual publication “Outstanding Teenagers of America.” He later moved to Carrollton, GA in 1986, attending and graduating from the University of West Georgia (Cum laude) with a degree in Criminology.

Monte was a devout Christian by faith and a longstanding member of Oak Grove Baptist Church in Carrollton, and a past member of Oak Grove’s Praise and Worship Band as a guitarist. Besides Christ, Monte’s passion was always music.
