I am the real deal.
I’m Jerry Farnham, and I’m as blue-collar as you can get. Growing up in Boothbay Harbor, I learned the value of hard work from my father, a dedicated lobsterman. My mother worked at the Boothbay Harbor YMCA, and she taught me the importance of community and support.
I started my journey in the fishing industry as a sternman, and I fished my own traps from a 12-foot skiff. Those early experiences instilled a deep love for the sea and a strong work ethic that has guided me throughout my life. After proudly serving my country, I found my way into the construction industry, where I developed a diverse skill set. I’ve also worked at boatyards and taken on part-time jobs at Cabela’s, Home Depot, and Hannaford’s, showcasing my versatility and drive.
Currently, I maintain CNC machines at machine shop here in Maine, putting in 50 hours a week to ensure everything runs smoothly. It’s a challenging and rewarding job that keeps me engaged and learning.
Outside of work, I’m a dedicated father of two incredible kids and a husband to a very supportive wife. When I’m not at work or typing away, you can often find me in my shop, working on my Jeep or collaborating with my kids on various projects. I love teaching them how to build with their hands, sharing the knowledge and skills I’ve gained over the years.
