Through his various employers, he worked with scientific instruments such as the Saturn Space Program dealing with optics, the Panoramic Reconnaissance Systems used during the Vietnam War, the first Orbital Reconnaissance Systems and the first video technologies.

Having trained under several geniuses’ during the 1960’s, he was taught everything is possible and the only limits we have are imposed by our fear of failure. One very famous person he worked under once told me “Don’t tell me what you cannot do, tell me what you can do. Any fool can tell me what cannot be done, but imagination without limits or fear can move us to new heights and challenge the status quo.” Mr. Montagnino believes that whether it is design, marketing or engineering, it is crucial to think outside the box as very few dare to do so.
