\n DUBLIN, Calif. \u2014 William \u201cWill\u201d Montgomery, Supervisory Recreational Assistant and Personal Trainer at Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (PRFTA), recently made his mark in competitive bodybuilding.
Montgomery earned 2nd Place in the Novice Middleweight Division at the Battle of the Bay Bodybuilding Competition on October 4, 2025. Just weeks later, he claimed 1st Place in the City of Lights Masters 40+ Division in Las Vegas on November 7, followed by another 1st Place finish in the Steve Karr Masters 40+ Division on November 8.
Montgomery\u2019s decision to compete came from his desire to push himself in a new direction, from just personal fitness training
\u201cI have always been one to stay in shape,\u201d he explained.
\u201cI needed to push myself in a direction that I\u2019ve never been in and to do something that I have never done. The overall goal\u2026 is to win. Now that I have the initial novice events done, I can set new goals to achieve. The next step is to compete against the best and earn my Pro Card.\u201d
Originally from Harveyville, Kansas, Montgomery is a United States Air Force veteran who has worked at PRFTA \u2014 also known as Camp Parks \u2014 for the past three years. At 44 years old, he continues to balance his professional responsibilities with his personal fitness goals. \u201cThe balance that has helped me, is starting my day early,\u201d he said. \u201cI have cardio in the morning, breakfast, and then train \u2014 all before my family gets up. Once I get home, I focus on family, and when I come to work, I can focus on the mission for the PRFTA community.\u201d
Montgomery\u2019s achievements have not gone unnoticed by PRFTA leadership. \u201cOur employees are an essential part of the team here at Camp Parks, and William\u2019s accomplishment is a shining example of the level of commitment and professionalism we see every day,\u201d said Lt. Col. Richard King, Garrison Commander.
Command Sgt. Maj. Steven Lorey also praised Montgomery\u2019s dedication: \u201cWilliam really embodies leading by example. When he works with Soldiers at the fitness center, they know they are getting guidance and instruction from an experienced expert. His unwavering commitment exemplifies the spirit of service we value at Camp Parks, and we are lucky to have William on the team.\u201d
Montgomery credits his success to the mentorship of his body-building coach and the encouragement of his family and friends.
\u201cMentorship [that I received] from my coach was amazing \u2014 his knowledge, feedback, and care for my well-being. The support from my coach, family and friends humbles you, picks you up, elevates you, and pushes you. Without this network, the journey wouldn\u2019t have been complete.\u201d
Though humble about his achievements, Montgomery hopes his journey can inspire others. \u201cThese accomplishments aren\u2019t meant to be used as inspiration, but the overwhelming support behind me really should be the achievement. Through the knowledge, failure, exhaustion, and people who have been there for me, I hope I can inspire someone one day \u2014 even just one person \u2014 to see how capable they are.\u201d
\u201cMontgomery\u2019s success is a testament to the strength, resilience, and professionalism of the Camp Parks team,\u201d added King. \u201cHis dedication to both his personal goals and his role supporting Soldiers and families through MWR reflects the Army\u2019s commitment to readiness and the warrior ethos.\u201d
PRFTA is a United States Army Reserve garrison located in Dublin, California, and is home to more than 30 units and organizations. It is committed to supporting the local community and providing a range of services and programs for military families. PRFTA is a sub-installation of Fort Hunter Liggett, located 156 miles south in Monterey County, Calif. <\/p>\n
