Like many Distributors that followed in their footsteps, Reliv Co-Founders Robert L. and Sandy Montgomery were not looking to start a business when Reliv came into their lives. Bob had already retired at the age of 38 after selling his life insurance company. Their plan was to raise Arabian horses on their new farm while they raised their children together.

The Montgomerys’ interest in nutritional products began when they experienced the passing of two of their parents within a short period of each other. Bob and Sandy decided they were going to do all they could to maintain their good health, which meant optimizing their nutritional intake. At a nutrition industry event, they met Dr. Theodore Kalogris.
