Michael has always wanted to be a writer, but there were not many entry level jobs for a novelist. When his girlfriend, now wife, got into a writing program in Missoula, he followed along.

This wasn't his first trip to Montana. When he was a little kid, Michael's family came there to look for a job, but after about a week, his mom requested they move back to civilization.

It was now a perfect time to spend some time in Missoula again!
