About John Orr


First and foremost, I am a husband and father of two.  My other jobs; IT Enterprise Reporting Manager with a team of 5, Cub Master for my sons Cub Scout Pack, and since 2016 I have run my own company on the side that first started with Google Analytics.

I have always been pretty active and in the past ran in a few marathons before hurting my knee playing with my son in the backyard of our last house.  This was when I really started getting into mountain biking.

We moved into our current home after Christmas 2016 and I was in heaven because our lot size tripled and there was a lot of potential.

What I found in the years since moving in was that I had a lot of things I wanted to do but found I was having difficulty making things cohesive. 

As I was redesigning my backyard mountain bike trail and thinking about my www.mymtbgear.com site, I realized that I needed to come up with a game plan for the backyard to really flow together and look good.

This is where this site was envisioned. The goal is to come up with a comprehensive game plan for the backyard that will allow the home owner to have a good understanding of what is possible in their space.

Once you know what could be possible then you can decide what to tackle and when to tackle them.

My property contains a septic system, propane tank, setbacks and drainage easement.  This site will also take these things into account during this process and will aim to help answer some of the typical questions that may come up over time.

I hope you enjoy the reading!
