Mr. Brian R. McCaughrin has brought McCaughrin Maritime Marine Systems, Inc., to the forefront in less than 3 years. This is truly an achievement, considering most companies don't get off the ground until the 5th year. Mr. McCaughrin has said from the start, "the MMMSI CEO and Chairman, is God and Jesus Christ! The success of this firm is because of what I have learned from Them in the past 3 years. For the people God has put into my life, I say Thank you!"

I am honored by the people in the shipping community who have taught me much and even selected me for inclusion in the International Who's Who of Professionals for 1998. The professionals in shipping selected Mr. Brian R. McCaughrin as a testament to the professional, academic and civic achievement of the members. I am very "Honored" by this, thank you.

Secondly: My dad: Dr. Walter S. McCaughrin who saw something in me at the young age of 12. He always pushed for success and always said "Never back away form your dreams".

Thirdly: All of the employees at MMMSI, The Board of Directors, Advisors who have continued to back my determination to move forward and to show me things I am actively seeking to learn. I thank you all and God bless you all.
