Fans have noticed Brad Weston showing up less consistently on Maine Cabin Masters in recent seasons, and plenty have asked whether he left the show for good. Here’s the real story.
He Joined the Crew While Still in High School
Brad Weston was born January 15, 1997, and raised in West Gardiner, Maine. He first connected with the Kennebec Cabin Company crew through mutual friends, joining the team during a project in Carrabassett Valley while he was still a high schooler.
Those early days were genuinely humble. Weston and his friends were living out of an Aliner camper with a small television and outdated video games while working the job, a far cry from the polished show fans know today.
His size and strength on site quickly earned him nicknames like “the big, strong kid,” and the crew’s now-familiar catchphrase, “Don’t get mad, get Brad,” traces directly back to that period.
He Became a Mentor Himself Over Time
After graduating high school, Weston rejoined the team full-time and took on steadily more responsibility on site. He’s since credited much of his own growth as a builder to picking up small lessons from veteran crew members like Matt “Dixie” Dix and Jared “Jedi” Baker, eventually combining what he learned from each of them into his own building style.
That same mentorship has come full circle. Weston has taken on the role of showing newer crew members, including a younger addition named Cam, the same kind of hands-on guidance he once received himself.
He Never Actually Left, Even Though His Screen Time Dropped
Weston’s on-screen presence has genuinely become less consistent in more recent seasons, which is likely what fueled the “did he leave” speculation in the first place.
But the show’s own official Facebook page confirmed otherwise, posting an enthusiastic “Brad Weston’s back!!!! Doug the plumber too!” update to fans after one of his returns to a project.
As of the most recent seasons, Weston remains a full-time member of the Kennebec Cabin Company team.
He simply doesn’t appear in every single episode the way Chase, Ashley, Ryan, Dixie, and Jedi do, with his flexible role allowing him to support specific projects based on need rather than appearing on a fixed schedule.
