After years of traveling, photographing, and living on the road, I’ve returned to New England to build something rooted; a small cabin on a quiet piece of land in the hills of Vermont.

Fern Grove Cabin isn’t just a build for me. It’s part of my story. Unfolding through the seasons, shaped by the land itself, and documented through photo, video, and honest storytelling.

I’m building this with my own two hands (and a few borrowed tools and help from friends), and sharing the entire journey from start to finish.
