About Us
With backgrounds in venture capital, advertising, finance, technology and university education, we are two committed Catholic Christians seeking to lead humble Christian lives in the complex and often hostile secular world. We drink coffee and discuss life, business, culture, family and education through a Christian lens.
​​
COFFEE (kaw-fee): a beverage brewed from the roasted and ground seeds of tropical evergreen coffee plants. We drink it.
​
COMMERCE (kom-urs): (1) social intercourse and exchange of ideas, opinions, or sentiments; (2) the activity of buying and selling goods and services. We do it. ​
​
CATECHESIS (kat-uh-kee-sis): basic Christian religious education and a life-long process of conversion, formation and learning. We need it.
