How I came to be an MRC employee:
Navy advocated for technical support and due to my experience on high energy storage systems (i.e., batteries), MRC was a great fit to facilitate that support.
What interested me about MRC for me to join the team:
MRC has long been the gold standard for support to the U.S. Navy. In my previous work I have also worked with some of the employees who have been part of the NUWC (NUSC) team at one time.
MRC’s reputation with our Customer’s and focus on employees was key.

Love to travel and enjoy the menu’s around the world.
