Wasierski, born on Nantucket Island in 1935, is a retired commercial fisherman with decades of experience in fishing and maritime trades. He grew up in Nantucket and Falmouth, later working in commercial fishing while also maintaining a career in plumbing. Wasierski discusses his early experiences in the fishing industry, beginning with commercial quahogging and bay scalloping in Falmouth in the early 1960s.
