My name is Greg Strandberg and I started Big Sky Words in 2013, a site about Montana and writing.
I work at a small service-industry business in downtown Missoula.
I’m a single dad. I have a 12-year-old son named Paul and a 4-year-old daughter named Kaja.

The Strandberg family has been in Montana since the 1880s.
I was born in Helena in 1981. I graduated from Helena High School in 2000 and moved to Missoula in 2001. I got my degree in history from UM in 2008.
That summer I moved to Shenzhen, China, which is a city of 13 million just north of Hong Kong. I taught English there for five years before moving back to Missoula in 2013.
I started writing books while still in China. It was a great way to break the tedium of teaching. I now have about 80 books selling on Amazon.
I ran for the Montana Legislature in 2014, 2016, and 2018. I ran for the Missoula City Council in 2017 and 2019. Lost 'em all, big time.
This is my site, I hope you enjoy it!
Here's a little about the blogs:

Here's a little about the blogs:
- Montana Blog: This blog is devoted solely to the history of Montana and Montana politics. It also contains excerpts from my 7 Montana history books. The blog has more than 1,300 posts.
- Writing Blog: This blog is for writers, Amazon authors, and content marketers. It has more than 700 posts and is currently dormant.
- 2014 Montana Election Blog: This blog is all about Montana and the 2014 elections. It started during my own quest for House District 98 here in Missoula. We got up to around 350 posts before pulling the plug in February, 2015. The final post has links to every article the blog has.

I have several goals and purposes with this website, and I think all are easily attainable.
Those are my goals for this site, which are roughly the same as when I started in March, 2013...and many have already been reached.
- Write about Montana history and writing;
- Post frequently;
- Write more eBooks;
Those are my goals for this site, which are roughly the same as when I started in March, 2013...and many have already been reached.
