Steve Koch is right there beside them.
In addition to some of the grittier work, like framing, hanging drywall and landscaping that he's done in the past, Koch has also drafted volunteers and served as project coordinator for some of the builds.
And once again, Koch, a financial planner and partner with Ameriprise Financial Services in Springfield, is providing "financial equity" to one of Habitat's three construction projects.
Koch and his wife, Jodie, are underwriting the entire cost--$90,000--for Habitat's spring build which will involve volunteers from a number of area Catholic parishes.
Last year, Koch single-handedly financed the build of a home to the tune of $112,000 and contributed about $40,000 to another building that was going on at the same time on the same lot.
