The Honorary Board is a core support group of the Department of Real Estate at the Robinson College of Business whose members are recruited from senior leadership of the real estate industry.

In his role as the leader of Moore Colson’s Real Estate Practice, he works with a variety of real estate clients with a particular focus on real estate investing, accounting, financial reporting and auditing matters.
Prior to joining Moore Colson, LaMontagne was an Audit Partner and leader of the Southeast Real Estate Practice with the international accounting firm of KPMG. He joined KPMG in 1983 and became the leader of KPMG’s Atlanta Real Estate Practice in 1997, and shortly thereafter became the Director of the Real Estate Practice for the entire Southeast. He also served on several national committees utilizing his expertise in the area of real estate finance including leasing, mergers and acquisitions, financings, public offerings and sales of real estate.
LaMontagne has a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a minor in Finance from Florida State University and is a member of the National Association of Certified Public Accountants, the Georgia Society of CPAs, the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF), the National Association of Real Estate Companies (NAREC), and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT).
