Camillo Companies Welcomes Jeff Montgomery as Architecture Design Director
montgomery brings more than 35 years of experience to the role
Camillo Companies is pleased to announce that Jeff Montgomery has joined the organization as Architecture Design Director. With more than 35 years of experience in architecture and homebuilding, Montgomery will help guide architectural design and innovation across the company’s Legend Homes and SimplyHome brands.
Throughout his career, Montgomery has held leadership positions with several prominent homebuilders, including Highland Homes, Beazer Homes, and Signature Homes. His extensive industry experience and passion for purposeful design will support Camillo Companies as it continues to grow and create thoughtfully designed homes for families across Texas.
“Jeff brings an exceptional depth of knowledge, strong design leadership and a genuine understanding of the role a home plays in a family’s life,” Camillo Companies CEO Dan Miller says. “His experience will be an incredible asset to our Architecture team and both the Legend Homes and SimplyHome brands. We are excited to welcome him to Camillo Companies.”
Montgomery’s interest in architecture began while working on construction crews framing single-family homes as he pursued his education. During that time, he also established his own design practice, gaining hands-on experience that helped shape his practical and people-centered approach to residential design. He earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture from the University of Utah.
Central to Montgomery’s design philosophy is the belief that healthy families are the foundation of thriving communities — and that homes should provide the safety, comfort and space families need to flourish.
“I’m excited to join Camillo Companies during such an important period of growth,” Montgomery says. “A home can have a lasting impact on the well-being of a family, and I look forward to working with the team to create thoughtful designs that support the way people live and strengthen communities across Texas.”
Camillo Companies exists to open doors to greater opportunities for all people. For more than 30 years, the company has led the way in constructing premier communities featuring affordable homes and residences that maximize style, livability, and functional floorplan designs. It is one of Texas's largest privately held real estate development and construction companies.
Camillo Companies is a vertically integrated operation consisting of four primary entities, including Retail (Legend Homes and Princeton Classic Homes), Residences (SimplyHome), Land Development (Academy Development), and Maintenance (LCI Services). Through these operations, Camillo Companies has constructed more than 30,000 homes and residences in the Greater Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Bryan-College Station areas, establishing a standard of exceptional customer service and attainability.
