Continuing the Mission

I was drawn to mcfa by its people and culture. Meeting the team gave me insight into a company ethos that fosters open thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and extreme ownership at all levels.

The biggest thing in a company was culture for me. Strong leadership was also something I looked for as a veteran. I wanted to make sure that the company took care of its people. I think that is something I found with mcfa.

When I joined mcfa, I was stepping into an industry I didn’t have much experience in. What I found was an opportunity to learn and grow quickly, surrounded by people who support that journey. Just as important, I’ve found the camaraderie of working alongside other veterans again. For me, that combination of growth and connection has made the transition meaningful.

The people and culture of mcfa made the transition from the military to civilian employment much easier than I anticipated. We are a close-knit community of veteran leaders, and I quickly found the soft skills I had acquired over 20 years in the military translated extremely well to the built environment. Working for mcfa has provided me with the opportunity to learn and grow in a completely new and challenging environment.

I joined the Marines because I knew it would be hard. I sought the challenge to prove to myself that I was capable of learning, training, and operating at the highest level in dynamic environments. I found pride and reward as a result. This is what I have at mcfa.

I had the privilege of spending six months with mcfa prior to transitioning out of the military. During this time, I learned that career success is driven by personal initiative and the commitment to continuous self‑improvement. mcfa’s leadership is invested in the growth of their team and provides exceptional support as long as you take the proactive step to ask for it.

When I think back to the military, the best place to be (other than the field) was in our Company bullpens. It was open, alive, and full of energy, you never knew if the day would bring good news, bad news, or a fire drill, but you knew you weren’t in it alone. At mcfa, I’ve found that same environment again. Our divisions operate like that bullpen, full of collaboration, problem-solving, and shared ownership. Out in the field with our clients, it feels just as alive. For veterans seeking that sense of camaraderie, purpose, and constant motion, this industry gives you the same heartbeat you felt in uniform, only now, you’re building the future.
