Keith is the handyman, Kate keeps things running, and Kalee is the dog. We live in Somesville, ME in the summer and Kailua, HI in the winter. Together we’ll strive to take care of your needs and provide a positive stress free experience.

We met through photography, and what cemented our union is a shared love of family, the environment, and our desire for adventure. Our most cherished memories involve a dog, creative plant-based eats, loved ones, and getting outside.

Yes, we still nerd out over some things in between (cappuccino makers, electric cars, visiting distant places) but our route to happiness is pretty darn simple. Continuing to learn, staying open minded and embracing challenges is our spice in life, and the source of many adventures.

Acadia Handy Helper is our next chapter, while giving us a way to meet and serve people in our community.
