MEET THE CEO

JOHN GENTILLON 

John is an active advocate within the stormwater industry and his expertise is well known within the stormwater community. With a background in landscape architecture and horticulture, John began work in the land development field in the late 1970’s.  Originally from Venice Beach, CA he sold his landscape business and relocated to San Diego in 1983 and has been a resident ever since.

​

John began his work in the stormwater industry providing sandbag services to the residential homebuilding sector during the market downturn in the late 1980’s.  During that, many sites were left partially finished and needed sediment control to protect the infrastructure until the projects were resold.  In the early 1990’s John started working with Mike Harding of Geosyntec Inc. on the post fire remediation following the Laguna fire.  He and Mike worked together to develop and provide BMP training for the stormwater industry during that time period.  He also worked with Hossain Kazemi, whom he credits with providing the first education platforms for the stormwater industry.  Hossain was integral in the early development of guidelines for the many documentation and field inspection processes that are now common practice in the industry.

​

The Land Stewards is a family run business with his wife Leysa.  John and Leysa have one daughter, Torrey, who is currently in law school.  John’s hobbies include surfing, basketball, golf and travel.  He especially enjoys when his travel includes surfing.
