Monty Belanger
Graduated from University of Florida in Gainesville in 1972 with a major in Banking and Finance. Married Roxana Grimaldo from Colon in 1975, and have two children. Jean-Paul, 25, is a dentist and is a year away from completing required community service with the Social Security Hospital in the Interior town of Penonome, commuting home or to the beaches on weekends. Plans to return to dental school to specialize in reconstructive surgery. Marc Pierre, 21, is about to start his Senior year at Syracuse University as a liberal arts major. Recently completed a semester abroad program in London. Still has no definitive plans as to what to study in graduate school. Home for the summer, he has a weekend gig at a local pub where he plays lead guitar for a band.

Upon graduation, I worked first for Citibank and then Bank Boston. Lived in the Boston area (Newton and Marblehead) for the greater part of 1983 &endash; 1992. Returned to Panama to work for Banistmo, now the largest bank in Panama and Central America, as its Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Also serve on the board of banks in Costa Rica and Honduras. Have been busy over the years with a number of mergers and acquisitions.

In my spare time, I enjoy travel, music, golf, deep sea fishing, and recently started a beach house project near Rio Hato / Santa Clara. Roxana, who worked as an administrative manager for a major law firm, recently quit her job to attend to this project, which should be completed in December.

Born November 20, 1949 ~ Colon, Republic of Panama
