Building with Purpose: How Catalyst and TRIUN3 Empower Ministry Growth Together
After spending 25 years in media and commercial real estate, I took a turn that changed the way I think about impact. I stepped into nonprofit leadership, serving as the CEO of a church, school, and daycare in Wisconsin.

Now, with TRIUN3, I have the privilege of helping these organizations across the country navigate finances, HR, and long-term planning. But even the best strategy needs the right partners to bring it to life. This is where Catalyst Construction steps in. Shared [...]

Building a Future of Healing: Meta House’s Mission and Partnership with Catalyst Construction
The journey that brought me to Meta House wasn’t one I originally planned, yet it feels like fate. I first learned about Meta House through a colleague, and when I heard about its work—helping women heal from substance use disorders so they could be present for their children—I knew I had to get involved. Meta House’s mission is deeply personal to me. Several members of my immediate and extended family have battled substance use disorders and mental health conditions, so I know first-hand the impact addiction can have on children and families. When I first learned of Meta House, I [...]
