Last night, we gathered at the Boston Winery to honor Mike Scipione, whose leadership has shaped Weston & Sampson for nearly four decades.
Mike joined the firm in 1985 and has been part of its journey ever since, helping guide us through years of steady growth and evolution. During his time as President and CEO from 2005 to 2021, the firm expanded its services and welcomed many new faces. His belief in building strong teams and creating opportunities has left a lasting impression on our culture and the way we work.
Under his leadership:
✔️ We expanded from fewer than 200 to 700+ employees (and now over 1,000!)
✔️ Broadened our services to include construction, energy, O&M, MEP, and landscape architecture
✔️ Always people-centered—mentoring, empowering, and trusting his teams
As current CEO, Frank Ricciardi commented, "Mike has been the kind of leader who listens more than he speaks, but when he speaks - everyone listens. Because his words always come from a place of thoughtfulness, experience, and genuine care. He believed in doing things the right way, even when it was the hard way. And that’s why so many of us not only respect him, but admire him. He taught me to trust my instincts, put people where they are strong and passionate, and most importantly have some fun!"
Thank you, Mike—for your trust, your vision, and your heart. Your impact will be felt for years to come.

🌍 Earth Day 2025 | Our Power, Our Planet 🌱
This Earth Day, we’re reflecting on the collective power we hold— to protect, to improve, and to sustain the world around us. At Weston & Sampson, this isn’t just a message for one day—it’s our mission every day.
Through innovative engineering, resilient design, and sustainable solutions, we help communities adapt to climate change, reduce environmental impact, and build a better future. From restoring wetlands and designing low-impact development solutions, to advancing renewable energy infrastructure and enhancing water quality, our teams are driven by purpose and grounded in stewardship.
This year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” speaks to the heart of what we do. Together—with our clients, our partners, and each other—we’re working to ensure that the natural and built environments thrive for generations to come.
We’re proud that the work we do every day contributes to intergenerational equity, and this week, our team is putting that commitment into action with clean-up events across several of our offices. Whether you’re removing litter from local parks or restoring a shoreline, every effort counts.
💧🌞🌱
Let’s use our power to make lasting change.
