JUSTIN ROEWER
Justin served six years in the Marine Corps. In the Infantry, he learned to embrace the hard, a lesson that served him well during the 2021 US evacuation of Afghanistan. Later, as a drill instructor, Justin appreciated the opportunity to pour into young recruits. Once he separated from the military, he realized he wanted to continue serving a bigger purpose. As Apogee Summit's Outdoor Learning and Physical Fitness Coach, as well as campus Security Director, he plans to do just that and continue pouring into young learners.
wendi roewer
After raising three boys and a 30-year career in federal law enforcement intelligence, Wendi looked forward to a retirement that included exploring Colorado's back country and visiting all the national parks. Just a year into that retirement, however, Justin's enthusiasm to open an Apogee campus ignited a spark in her to step outside the comfort zone and join him in the effort. So they set about putting together the best possible team to make it happen. The national parks can wait.
tammi avila
With over 20 years of experience as an educator and school administrator in both public and private education, Tammi has witnessed the need for significant changes in the educational system. Having raised two sons who attended charter, district, and private schools in Colorado, she understands the importance of giving families more say in their children's education. Tammi joined Apogee Summit to support the growth of Montessori-inspired, project based learning, with the goal of empowering students and ensuring that families are at the forefront of their children's educational journey.
