When you first meet Joe Dubinski, Landmark School’s director of facilities, you can’t help but notice his kind nature and willingness to serve the community. You may not know that there is more to the story behind his success. That success is deeply rooted in his experience as a student at Landmark.

The Student

Joe attended Landmark School from eighth to 12th grade. After graduating in 2014, he attended Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston and earned a degree in Construction Management with a minor in Business. After college, he worked for CM&B construction on a Porsche dealership in Stratham, N.H., and other noteworthy building projects including the TimeOut Market at Fenway Park and The Sportsbook at the Encore Boston Harbor Casino.

When asked how Landmark impacted his life, Joe responded, “Landmark changed my world. It made everything that I’ve achieved in my life so far possible. It makes me proud to be able to come back to this school and have a positive impact on this community.”

A Family Man

Dubinski, a Topsfield resident, is married to Alicia Ansara ’15, whom he met his junior year at Landmark. They are the proud parents of 9-month-old Quinn. The Dubinskis also have a dog named Archie.

Director of Facilities

As director of facilities, Joe oversees three departments: Custodial, Maintenance, and Grounds. He is proud of the amazing team working with him and is tasked with making hundreds of decisions each week. With new construction projects on both campuses, he recognizes the importance of providing competitive facilities to attract new families and offer state-of-the-art spaces for our students to learn, grow, and thrive.

Reflecting

What lessons did Joe learn that made a lasting impact on his professional life? “All the writing skills I learned here helped me enormously. The family-oriented environment and the feeling of community here is wonderful—it’s one of the reasons I came back. I wanted to give back for all that Landmark gave me.”

Advice for Students

Joe says, “Stick with it. Learn as much as possible but be realistic. It’s impossible to know everything. Having dyslexia means you are different but in a positive way. I use my dyslexia to see things differently. It is a benefit to my everyday life, and it can be for you, too.”
