Hello my name is Chris James and I was born and raised right here in beautiful Butte, Montana.  A few years back I decided to take on the challenge of going back to school.  So here I am.  I'm a very nontraditional student so much of what I am doing is very new and exciting.

When I'm not studying I love spending time doing what I truly love to do.  I love to spend time with my horses. 
In this photo you will see me with two of my horses.  Actually these two are my daughters, however; as we all know, moms get to take care of most all of their children's animals.  My little guy is a bit photo shy and hid from this shot.

I know this may sound silly to most, but being around horses after a very stressful day is quite soothing.  The horses give you unconditional love and can actually pick up on how you are feeling.  I wish that everyone could share this same opportunity.  Because I board my horses at the Butte Saddle Club, I am able to have horses and still live in the city.
