Bill Zerrusen

Inspired by the work at St. John's Catholic Newman Center at the University of Illinois, Matt and his father, Bill, decided they wanted to help campus ministry in a big way. In 2009 they started a non-profit called Newman Connection, which has connected almost 400,000 high school students to the campus ministry at their chosen college to date. In 2009 they also started a development company focused on bringing faith based student housing to campuses, similar to the Illinois model. To date that company has 5 total properties in 3 states and has housed over 5,000 students. Alongside of serving as Chief Blessings Officer, Bill is also the President/CEO of his family owned printing company, Three Z Printing.
