About GreaterFalls.com

Howdy! My name is David. I’ve lived in Great Falls since 2002.

WHAT (and why) IS GREATERFALLS.COM?

I’ve been blogging since October 2000 in one form or another; used to be over at www.davidmsc.com, but recently moved over to Better Living Thru Blogging, which is my personal site about all kinds of whimsical stuff. Shortly after I moved to Montana, I decided to create the Big Sky Blog, which is the first multi-user collaborative blog about All Things Montana.

And then in May 2005, I created GreaterFalls.com in order to integrate two things that I love: blogging and Great Falls. It’s true: I do love this community. You see, I was raised as an Air Force brat, and then spent 20 years in the military myself, so I never had the same address for more than three years in my entire life. Here’s my list: Phoenix, Arizona; Ft Walton Beach, Florida; Columbus, Ohio; Bentwaters, England; Edwards AFB, California; Spokane, Washington; Choctaw and Midwest City, Oklahoma; San Antonio, Texas; Mountain View, California; Enid, Oklahoma.

But then I arrived in Great Falls. Never in my life have I met such friendly, honest people, or lived in such a beautiful community, or enjoyed such wonderful scenery and weather (all four seasons!). Literally within days of arriving here back in 2002, I experienced something that I had never felt before: a sense of home. This is the only place that I’ve ever lived or visited that felt like home to me. Quite a powerful feeling.

So I suppose you could think of GreaterFalls.com as my personal “fan club” for the community of Great Falls. I invite you to visit this site often to see what’s going on, and to leave comments on entries that interest you.

PLEASE NOTE: I work as a civilian employee for the U.S. Air Force, but absolutely nothing that I write on this site is intended to represent the views of Malmstrom AFB, the US Air Force, or any other government agency…in other words, all of the opinions expressed on GreaterFalls.com are explicitly mine (except those left by people who comment on entries).
