About Bryan:
Thank you for taking the time to check out our blog. My name is Bryan and I am very excited about sharing my backyard, smoking and grilling experiences with all of our readers. I am married and have a 2 year old son. Being a small business owner and father doesn’t leave me much free time but when it does I am doing one of three things, grilling, smoking or watching sports. I am a die hard Redskins fan. I know, you are saying I should keep that to myself. But it is a curse I am forced to live with. I got my start in the backyard and swimming pool industry around 15 years ago. I have been lucky since my work has always focused around activities I enjoy and I get to try out all kinds of cool new toys. My collection of grilling and smoking tools currently includes a Vermont Castings Gas Grill, a Bradley Original Electric Smoker, a large Big Green Egg, a Traeger Lil’ Tex Pellet Grill, a Weber One Touch Silver Charcoal Grill and a Big Easy Oil-Less Turkey Fryer. They all bring something a little different to the table and it is fun experimenting with them all. I am very eager to start sharing those experiments with you. Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you soon.
About George:
Thank you for checking our blog out at BackyardandBBQ.com. My name is George and I will be one of the many experienced bloggers to post stories, tips, news, and anything you may need to know about the outdoor living industry. I have worked in the pool, patio, and backyard industry for 15 years and during this time, I’ve gained valuable knowledge about the industry. The pool, patio, and backyard industry is constantly changing so there is always something new to learn. I hope to share my experience and provide you with the most up to date news and information to make your outdoor living experience more enjoyable.
About Jack:
I’m excited to start sharing my knowledge and experiences on this blog for everyone. I first got involved in the swimming pool, spa and outdoor industry while I was attending college and needed to pay for books and tuition. After graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science and years spent as an IT Defense and Strategy consultant I decided to trade in my suit and tie. Now I am owner of a small business with the opportunity to share, review, troubleshoot and inform you on all information in the outdoor and bbq world. I hope you enjoy my postings and I look forward to interacting with all of you.
