Leadership at HomeSmart

PJ Lara
General Manager
With over 15 years of experience in team management and leadership, I am dedicated to delivering exceptional service to our customers. My passion lies in ensuring their satisfaction and providing best-in-class solutions. As a data-driven professional, I thrive on analyzing insights to optimize processes and drive results. When I’m not leading teams, you’ll find me off-roading in Moab, experimenting with new baking recipes, or tending to my garden.

Matt Montgomery
Director of HVAC Sales and Installation
I have been in sales and management for over 2 decades with my focus on customer needs. In my free time, I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, open water swimming and many other activities. I am also a long-time fan of the Minnesota Vikings and Twins.

Wes Porter
Field Manager
With a decade of hands-on experience in the industry, I take pride in delivering optimal HVAC performance. I’m deeply passionate about customer service and believe in going above and beyond to ensure that our clients receive not just quality workmanship but also exceptional care and attention. After work, I’m found in the great outdoors and am an avid hiker and biker who finds joy in nature and sharing experiences with my beautiful family.
