About
Our Trinity team is composed of creative thinkers, detail-oriented project managers, friendly account reps and extremely talented craftsmen. Our capabilities include off-the-shelf quick-turn portable displays, custom fabrication and custom graphic printing. Our vision of success is always continuing to learn, providing a consultative no pressure approach to our clients and always following through on our word. Our goal is to understand each project, help develop the most practical and in-budget solutions and build trusted relationships with our customers, the lifeblood of our business.
We’re always looking at popular industry trends, keeping up to date on new technology and most importantly, learning from our clients on things we could be doing differently, new materials in the industry or different applications for existing solutions. The culture and team-first mentality has helped us become an industry leader in the experiential, exhibit and event fabrication industry.
Meet the Crew
Display Dino
DOF - Director of Fun
I’m Display Dino but most people call me Big D, the Jurassic jack-of-all-trades! Back in high school, I juggled being the star quarterback & valedictorian – they called me the “Clever-asaurus” for a reason. After some wild detours, I supervised stacks of paper at Dundler Mifflin & kept things going dino-mite at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Now, I’m Director of Fun at Trinity because let’s face it, I’ve mastered the art of fun-ology! Let’s build fun & create new experiences together!
Felix Padin
Production Fabricator
In the summer I spend my free time at EDM festivals and in the winter I try to travel somewhere new for snowboarding. In the mornings I like to weight-lift and read before I begin my work day. I share a cat named mochi with my fiancé Brooke. We’ve been together for five years and she’s one my greatest sources of motivation. I’m also enrolled in an electrician program to further my skills as a tradesman.
Brianna Nguyen
Marketing Specialist
I’m Brianna, but I go by Bri. I began college as a Biology major & quickly decided it wasn’t for me after taking Organic Chemistry (yikes). Growing up & through the jobs I worked throughout college, I’ve always been hands-on with marketing & this was when I decided marketing was the path for me! I was born in Denver, CO, raised in Austin, TX, and moved to Northwest Indiana 10 years ago. When I’m not working, you can find me at the gym, attending music festivals or exploring new experiences!
Steven Caldwell
Shop Labor
Growing up, my passion for the 3 C’s – cars, computers, and construction – shaped my interests/aspirations. Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout instilled in me a sense of leadership & community service. My family’s construction background influenced my career path, & I found myself drawn to the hands-on aspect of the field. Joining Trinity allowed me to combine my passion for construction with the opportunity to work on the back end of marketing, furthering my growth in the industry.
Stephanie Tobar
Sales Coordinator
I was born and raised in Northwest Indiana and found my forever home since then. I love all seasons and make the best of what comes our way! In the summer I enjoy riding my bike and in the winter I enjoy riding my snowboard. I’m blessed I get to work for a great company and with an amazing team! My time outside of work is mostly spent going on adventures with my husband & son.
Robert Swiatek
Operations Manager
Al Perez
Shipping & Receiving Coordinator
I am a proud father of four beautiful children & have an amazing wife who often describes me as a hard-working provider. I take great pride in my work here at Trinity! Aside from staying busy, I also love the outdoors. My family & I go to the beach as often as we can. Tending to my garden & working on small projects around the house are also some things I enjoy doing. I am very blessed & I know without God, everything I have in life wouldn’t be possible!
Adam Bzdyl
Production Fabricator
Working at Trinity has allowed me to grow both professionally & personally. From building custom wood structures, doing custom paint jobs & even to wrapping vehicles. I love what I do. When I’m not fine-tuning my skills, I’m spending all the time I can with my daughter, Remi, and constantly growing as a father.
Drew Stolz
Sales Coordinator
I graduated from Purdue University Northwest with a marketing degree last year and have been with Trinity for ever since. I love all things marketing and enjoy engaging with our customers! Outside of work I enjoy playing music, whether it be writing, recording or playing various shows around the area.
Ryan Jury
Logistics Coordinator
I grew up near Detroit and moved to Chicago at 19. I’ve been a DJ and producer for over 20 years. I met my wife, Dalia, in Chicago and have been happily married for 11 years. I stayed home and raised our 9-year-old son as a baby until he was old enough to start school. I love to do anything competitive, including fishing and disc golf. I am working on becoming a pro in the 40+ division. Our family’s best move was selling our condo in Downtown Chicago and buying a house in Chesterton, Indiana!
Robert Castellano
Production Fabricator
After spending nearly half of my 45 years on this earth as a flooring installer, I decided to make a significant career shift by joining the Trinity team. Staying occupied is something I take pleasure in, and raising five children certainly keeps me on my toes. Without a doubt, my family is my biggest source of motivation. In my free time, I like to go on bike rides with my kids and watch baseball.
Lauren Rossi
Office Manager
Hi! I’m Lauren! I am a mom, wife and student. I am working on my MBA with Butler University. I worked for 15 years in radio before making the transition to the tradeshow industry, and I am so grateful I made the move. I’ve been with Trinity as the Office Manager since February 2020. I love working with a great group of people.
Michael Plys
Production Fabricator
Being in building and fabricating for 30+ years, you’d think I could have seen it all, but now working with Trinity, I have learned you can teach an old dog new tricks! I also hope to be able to share my skills and experience with the younger generation. I enjoy seeing ideas come from a thought into physical reality and love being a part of it.
Heather Mihal
Graphic Designer
I’ve been working w/ Adobe programs since I was in intermediate school, making forum signatures for my friends or icons to use on instant messenger. Let’s just say the hobby stuck & here I am today. When not creating, designing, or crafting I’m playing video games, attending cons, reading, or learning new skills and programs like 3D printing & modeling!
Mario Pawinski
Graphic Designer
I’m a graphic designer from Chicago who loves art, food and family. I have been making stunning visuals for various clients for over 15 years and I’ve been designing and creating things all of my life, from Lego to leg o’ lamb. As you can tell (from that joke) I am also a dad, to a playful young daughter and have been together with my lovely wife for over 25 years. I also really enjoy seeing the things we create as a team at Trinity become a reality that everyone gets to experience.
Chris Weliczko
Print Production Coordinator
I’ve lived in NWI my whole life, graduating from Purdue Northwest with a Biological Sciences degree. I’ve always been passionate about designing & printing, stemming from my time in the graphics department at Knox High School. I love turning blank slates into masterpieces, whether it’s at work or in my life outside of work. Cooking & fishing are my two real passions, & often they go hand in hand on my YouTube channel, The Flyest Adventures. I believe that life is best enjoyed slowly w/ good food
Jamie Baczkowski
Sr. Account Manager
I’ve been really lucky in life, love & all things career. My husband of almost 20 years is my supportive rock, and we have two awesome kids. I love my job and I have a great work-family-life-shopping-workout-travel-drinks with friends, balance going on. The people I work with each day at Trinity are really just an extension of my family. I manage so many amazing accounts and consider so many of you friends. So thank you – I appreciate you!
Marty McGinnis
Business Development
Growing up in the Chicagoland area, I didn’t travel terribly far for my college life, graduating from the University of Iowa (Go Hawkeyes!) I’ve been in the experiential/exhibit/event industry for 15+ years. I enjoy the challenge of knowing a client partner has a need & they’ve given us the opportunity to use our capabilities/past experiences to help solve the need. I’m most proud of my wife Erin, my son Mackey & daughter Nor. Making them proud is what keeps me going day in & day out!
Patrick Bytnar
Project Manager
Nothing makes me happier than organizing, planning, & executing successful projects for our customers! I spent the majority of my career working exclusively in the Trade Show world, but it’s been cool to work outside the convention center “box” with our customers on their experiential activations (“I don’t like Trade Shows, I love them” – Pat Bytnar). Outside of work, I’m a proud husband & father of 2. I cherish family time so nothing beats hanging out & enjoying our time together!
