Our shows

1 SEASON

RYAN VILLACCI
host, working maine
Ryan Villacci is the host of Working Maine and a guy who rarely turns down an opportunity to try something new. When he's not working on a horse farm, he's usually chasing his next adventure, asking a million questions, or finding a way to make people laugh.
Naturally outgoing, endlessly curious, and never afraid to make himself the punchline, Ryan brings an unmistakable personality to every episode. Whether he's getting his hands dirty alongside a crew of local workers or stepping into a world he's never experienced before, he's always up for seeing where the day takes him.

GABE HIRST
camera operator, working maine
Gabe Hirst was part of the original Working Maine crew, serving as a second camera operator throughout the first five episodes of the series. Equal parts behind-the-scenes talent and resident comedian, Gabe brought an infectious energy to every shoot and had a knack for making friends just about anywhere he went.
After helping shape the first half of Season 1, Gabe headed to New York City to pursue new opportunities in filmmaking and beyond. Though he's traded Maine for the city, he's still part of the WORKING MAINE story. And if there's one thing the crew won't forget, it's Gabe's unwavering appreciation for Timber Tina.
