Dear Teammate
Welcome to Trident Research. I am grateful that you have chosen to join us.
You are entering a company with a long history of quiet service to our Nation. Much of what we do will never be publicly celebrated. Many of the details and reasons why we do what we do cannot be discussed outside secure spaces. And yet, the work matters deeply. Our work and the results of what we do exist for a single purpose: to ensure that those who stand watch for our country are better prepared, better informed, and better protected.
That responsibility carries great weight. We do not take it lightly.

At Trident Research, our culture is anchored by three corporate values: Profound Integrity, Selfless Humility, and Furious Resolve. These are not slogans. They are expectations—tested daily in our decisions, our stewardship, our security discipline, and in how we treat one another.
Profound Integrity means we do the right thing when no one is watching and when the consequences of failure are severe. Accuracy matters. Truth matters. Trust—earned over years and lost in moments—is the currency of our work. Scripture reminds us that “the integrity of the upright guides them” (Proverbs 11:3). In our environment, integrity is not theoretical; it is operational.
Selfless Humility means we serve the mission, the team, and the warfighter above personal recognition. You will often contribute to successes that carry another organization’s name. That is by design. We believe, as Scripture teaches, that “in humility [we are to] count others more significant than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3). Leadership here is measured not by title, but by service.
Furious Resolve means we persevere when programs are difficult, when technology resists us, and when the path forward is unclear. National defense work is demanding by nature. It requires vigilance, endurance, and strength of character. “Be watchful, stand firm, be strong” (1 Corinthians 16:13). We expect determination tempered by discipline and wisdom.
I will share openly that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, and my faith shapes how I understand responsibility, service, and leadership. At the same time, Trident Research is a professional, inclusive organization made strong by people of many backgrounds and beliefs. What unites us is not creed, but commitment—to excellence, to ethical conduct, and to one another.
Whatever role you serve in—engineering, manufacturing, security, administration, finance, or leadership—your work matters. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). At Trident Research, diligence and faithfulness in the details enable success in matters of great consequence to our Nation.
I am honored to welcome you to this team. I expect much from you, and I am committed to supporting you as you grow in skill, responsibility, and impact. Together, we will continue to serve with integrity, humility, and resolve.
For God and for Country.
Respectfully,
Founder & President
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24
