Putting His Best Environmental Foot Forward

John Wasileski, owner of development firm Sea Coast Management, leads with his legacy in mind.

For the past 30 years, John Wasileski has been all about giving people great places to live. He comes by his desire to serve people and create living spaces honestly: In 1975, he graduated from McGill University in Montreal with duel degrees in Sociology and Environmental Studies. After graduation, he came to Maine to help paint his sister's house, fell in love with the state and never left.

That year, he landed an internship working for the Southern Mid-Coast Regional Planning Commission in Bath, Maine—a position funded by the Environmental Careers Organization, itself a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to developing professionals for the environmental field. In 1976, he went to work for the York/Cumberland Housing Corporation, where he helped develop low-income housing for seniors at 12 different locations in southern Maine.

Two years later, Wasileski hung out his own shingle as a consultant specializing in government housing programs. In 1979, he formed a development partnership to build more than a dozen commercial and housing projects in southern Maine and New Hampshire.  (Read the full article or download the PDF version.)
