About Me and This Site

This post may contain affiliate links so I earn a commission.

If you're like me, anytime I read something interesting or informative on the internet, I'm curious who's giving me the information and I want to know if they really understand and practice what they're writing about.

So, I created this page to do just that, tell you a little bit about myself, my background and why I created Fire Pit Fanatic.

My name is Nick Greenway and I live in northern Michigan where our Great Lakes and beautiful federal forests attract people from all over the globe.

However, if there is anything "Michiganders" despise, it's the cold and sometimes brutal winters we receive every year.

I've always had a love and passion for the outdoors, which includes using firewood to heat my home for nearly my entire life.

In fact, I love firewood so much I created my first website Firewood For Life almost a decade ago to help people use firewood to reduce their heating costs and enjoy the warmth that wood heat has to offer.

Since then, the site has grown into something that is larger than I would have ever imaged, connecting with people throughout the world.

I love writing and teaching people some of the tips and tricks I've picked up throughout my life.

As the website grew, I realized there was a huge chunk of knowledge I still wanted to share that involved campfires, fire pits and how to create the perfect backyard experience.

So, I decided to expand and create this website which will give me the opportunity to thoroughly cover these topics.

What I offer is honest, first hand knowledge of a topic and lifestyle that I love and enjoy.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this site.

I truly appreciate it, and hope you love everything Fire Pit Fanatic has to offer!

About This Site

When I built my first informational site I didn't know anything about computers, much less how to create a full website.

Sure, I'm a lot better now after doing it for a decade, but I still rely on professionals to make the site work "behind the scenes."

I still don't know anything about hosting a site or uploading information to be indexed by Google.

Sounds crazy right?

So how can I operate successful websites without being a computer wiz?

I use Solo Build It! or SBI!

I found SBI! after reading multiple raving reviews from other users who used the program to create and operate a successful website.

So, I decided to give it a try and I've never regretted that decision.

In fact, I still use it to run and operate this website even though I'm somewhat of a seasoned professional.

The service they proved along with their technical support is priceless!

If you have the desire to work from home, be your own boss and create your own empire, I highly recommend SBI!

You won't be disappointed.

SBI!
