The Personal Website of Phil Crandlemire
Hello, and thanks for stopping by.
My name is Phil Crandlemire—designer, content creator, singer-songwriter, published author, freelance writer, performance poet, and all-around storyteller. I’ve lived a life filled with art, adventure, and authenticity, and this site is simply a place to share who I am, what I’ve done, and how I might be able to help you.
About Me
I’m a 7th-generation Mainer with deep roots in the heart of New England. My family has been on this land since before it was even a country—my earliest known American ancestor was born in 1774 in colonial New Jersey. My home is in Waterville, Maine, where I continue to draw inspiration from the natural beauty and quiet resilience of this place and its people.
I’ve been everything from a cowboy to a content creator. My wife and I ran an organic farm for 14 years—Naturally Good Farms—where we grew and sold produce to local restaurants and markets. I still have a deep passion for gardening, nature, and living simply but purposefully.

Creative Work
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats:
Web & Graphic Designer – With decades of experience in digital design and development, I help individuals and small businesses bring their online vision to life.
Published Writer & Photojournalist – I’ve been published nationally, regionally, and locally as a journalist, essayist, and creative writer. I’m also the author of a book available on Amazon.
Singer-Songwriter & Performer – My music tells stories from the heart. I once had the honor of performing at the Hilton in Washington, D.C. for a group of Vietnam veterans, singing a song I wrote in memory of a friend who served and has since passed on.
Poet & Spoken Word Artist – I’ve performed on many stages, blending rhythm and reflection in the tradition of performance poetry.
Actor – You might even catch a glimpse of me in HBO’s Empire Falls.
Motorcycle and Snowmobile Racer – I’ve raced both motocross and road courses at Loudon Speedway in New Hampshire. When it came to winter, I traded two wheels for a sled and competed in snowmobile races throughout Maine.
