Balancing Nature and Development: SCS Welcomes Travis Blasi as Planning Specialist

Travis Blasi has forged a career that blends his passion for the outdoors with his expertise in land management. Since joining the SC Swiderski team as a Planning Specialist in April 2023, Travis has been at the forefront of determining land quality for developments while fostering collaboration with civil engineers and construction teams.

Growing up in Burlington, Wisconsin, Travis's affinity for the outdoors was nurtured from an early age. During his formative years Travis spent much time in nature. He would often go exploring the diverse ecosystems around his grandparents’ Minocqua area home where his passion for nature truly flourished. The awe-inspiring forests, pristine lakes, and abundant wildlife became the backdrop for some cherished memories and served as the catalyst for his career path.

That path brought him to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point where Travis graduated with a degree in natural resource management. His knowledge encompasses a broad spectrum of environmental issues including plant and animal life, soil composition, and contamination. This expertise allows him to meticulously assess land quality for potential developments, ensuring the preservation of critical ecosystems and minimizing negative environmental impact. Travis's contributions will be instrumental in shaping the future of sustainable construction practices at SCS.

With his background in natural resource management and land use management, Travis's unique skill set often brings a holistic approach to his work. His deep-rooted understanding of land ecosystems and environmental preservation will help our future developments strike a harmonious balance between progress and sustainability.

In his role as a Planning Specialist at SCS, Travis works closely with civil engineers and construction teams, acting as a bridge between them, nature, and our development teams. This collaborative approach fosters effective cross-disciplinary communications helping to translate the environmental implications of land use into practical considerations for construction projects.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Travis finds solace and inspiration in the great outdoors. An avid hunter, fisherman, and camper, he eagerly explores the beauty of nature whenever he can spare a moment.

As a testament to his affection for animals, Travis shares his home with five cats and one canine companion. Additionally, Travis and his wife recently welcomed their first child into the world just a few months ago. Through the joys of parenthood, he hopes to pass down his deep appreciation for nature and hard meaningful work.

Travis’ dedication to preserving land quality, nurturing sustainable development, and fostering a connection with nature makes him a great asset in his field. Through his work at SCS, Travis can help us toward a future of thriving communities and thriving ecosystems coexisting harmoniously – lasting examples of environmental consciousness and responsible growth. We are extremely happy he’s a part of our team.
