You see here a Montana man, born and raised. I'm familiar with livestock, can ride a horse, treasure both life and dreams under the big sky, but enjoyed city life in D.C. during grad school. What you've got here is a big, athletic man. I loved competing in collegiate track and field. I will warn you, my esteemed ladies, that I am no willowy branch. I am large in stature, but do make an effort to be lean and mean. It's not unreasonable to compare me to a granite wall. A dang good lookin' one, mind you, but a granite wall nonetheless.

As for the body, I enjoy being active with running, MMA, and weight training. Concerning the spirit, the gospel of Jesus Christ is what I center my life around. The good news is the greatest of all feasts, and it is the most precious gift in which to indulge every day. The family is center to that plan. I love both my immediate and extended family very much, and attend all the gatherings, activities, and reunions I can.

My folks will tell you that I was a stubborn handful (actually, an armful...okay, okay! Two armfuls!), but I did get two of their teachings right: "Do hard things," and "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right." I live my life that way, and give that same effort in relationships with the people I care about.

If you don't message, but would still like to strike up some communication, flirt me or comment or punch me to get my attention (you'll have to punch pretty hard. A sledge hammer might not be a bad idea either, now that I think about it), and we'll figure it out.
