Marino De la Cruz
Security Engineer / Architect Lead
I’m happily married to my wonderful wife, Denny, and we have three amazing kids: Bryan, Ryan, and Gregory.
I go by my first name, no nicknames yet, but who knows what might stick in the future!
I’m a huge fan of the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts. I enjoy the discipline and strategy involved, which ties into my love for problem-solving—whether in the octagon or in life.
I have a deep love for the beauty of my home country, especially the beaches and mountains. If I had to choose a favorite, that would be Punta Cana, it holds a special place in my heart for its stunning landscapes and peaceful retreats.
I'm a curious learner with a passion for storytelling, whether it’s through movies, anime, or manga. I enjoy delving into books that broaden my horizons, from fascinating histories to cutting-edge innovations. I believe there's always something new to learn!

I was born and raised in the vibrant city of San Pedro de Macorís in the Dominican Republic, a place rich with culture and baseball legends.
As a kid, I was crowned Chess Champion, which sparked my lifelong passion for strategy and critical thinking. It’s a skill I carry with me in everything I do, both professionally and personally!

Family loves the beach, but I prefer the mountains - so we make both work. I'm especially fond of Deep Creek MD
My kids are on the dance team at Urbana Dance Studio - so along with serving as their taxi, I've also become a "prop dad". I've designed, fabricated and painted props for many of the team's dances. Also quite bad at fantasy football - but love playing

I am married to my amazing wife Katie and we have three great kids Landon (12), Cecily (10), and Martelise (5). We also embarked on the adventure of Dog ownership during the pandemic to welcome my office mate Bao to our family.
Not having realized how good our childhood was, my wife and I prefer to return to coastal New England for most vacations.
Despite living in Washington DC, our family is very ocean oriented with my wife and I both being raised in coastal states of Connecticut and Rhode Island. I enjoy all types of boating or days at the beach.

Joe and I play tennis and pickle ball. My favorite teams are from Boston/New England and I am a life long Red Sox fan. I root for whoever is playing against the Yankees!
Anywhere with water! The Caribbean, Hawaii, and New Zealand have been my favorites.
I love boating and throwing parties at our beach house during the summer. Yoga helps me practice self-care both physically and emotionally.

I have lived all over Connecticut over the past 40 years and have been happiest here in Milford. I grew up in Massachusetts near Cape Cod. I really enjoyed living in France and Germany during my junior year in college.
Joe and I are working towards a shared dream of owning a sailing catamaran and exploring the east coast and Caribbean together (friends invited)!
