Hello everyone! My name is Jonathan Bates and I live in Brigham City where I work in a retail store. I have also lived in Bountiful, Utah for many years. I attended the University of Utah and graduated with a BS degree in chemistry. I live with my mother and one of my brothers.

I love reading good books-Western novels and science fiction novels. I love going hiking (in the summers.) I have worked in several national parks here in the western U.S. including Glacier National Park, Montana, Mount Rushmore , South Dakota, Denali Park, Alaska, Mt. Rainier Park, Washington, and Grand Canyon Park, Arizona in addition to Bryce Canyon Park here in good old Utah. Also, I love New Age (natural) music and 1980's and 1990's soft rock.
