I first met Marc at a PLTW summer training institute as a fellow teacher-trainee in 2005. A few years later, he was my mentor teacher for Aerospace Engineering. He remembered me from the first encounter, we chummed around, and in passing, he mentioned he'd heard of this FIRST Robotics thing, how could he get involved?

A few phone calls and eight months later, 3176 were the Boilermaker Rookie All-Stars. Purple Precision then helped 3487 the next year - the EarthQuakers were BMR RAS. This year he was instrumental in the formation of 4008; we'll see what happens there.

I think that's all you need to know about his ability to lead, inspire, and instill passion.

He will be cherished and missed by his family, friends, and teammates.
