About
My story. A little about me and what this site is about.
I grew up in Bar Harbor Maine and I'm grateful for all the things that it did for me as a child and as a young adult. Ultimately my experiences from living in Maine shaped me into the man I am today.
There is a distinct expression that comes across everyone's face when you tell them you're originally from Maine. It's one part how did you make it out alive, one part curiosity of what life is actually like there, and one part wondering what it would be like to live peacefully in the great outdoors of Maine.
I've been working and living in New York City coming up on a decade now and it's been quite the adventure. There are many things to love about the city and it can teach you many things about life and about yourself. Despite all that the city has to offer, I long for the great outdoors. On the weekends I just want to escape to the peace and quiet of a cabin by the water in the middle of nowhere. If I could play golf all day, and sit by the fire all night drinking wine I'd be in heaven.

This site is about capturing the best of what Bar Harbor has to offer. It's about helping others make their time in Bar Harbor the best it can be. That adorable little town changed my life and I hope it can help change yours for the better too. I also want to help you capture the essence of the experience and recreate it in your home. So even if you can't be there physically you can escape back to Bar Harbor mentally from where ever you call home.
