Modern Mormon Men (MMM) was launched in April 2011 after two friends read an article written by someone obsessed with Mormon mommy blogs. The idea was to gather a group of interesting Mormons and have them write about topics they find inspiring, challenging, funny, creative, and compelling. An eclectic group of modern Mormon men and women was assembled to regularly contribute content.
JAR, The Fatherless Mormon
James A. Robertson is a
former U.S. Marine, a current LDS member, and an eternal Grammar Nazi.
He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Houston with a degree in
integrated communication and a minor in psychology--neither of which he
currently uses in his career. His unorthodox, aggressive communication style
has been called “fire and brimstoney” on multiple occasions (although he claims
that he is simply an emotive speaker). He lives in Houston with his wife,
Ashley, and his two sons, Jared and Logan.
