My family and I have called Wisconsin home for the past ten years. We've built a life centered around family, faith, and the outdoors. Whether it’s running, hunting, mountain biking, or skiing, we believe in living actively and intentionally.

For the past five years, we’ve homeschooled our four children. Like many families, we were searching for something different—something more meaningful than traditional public school could offer. We wanted our kids to have time and space to grow, to be immersed in real experiences, and to discover that education is not confined to textbooks or classrooms—it’s embedded in everyday life.

That journey led us to Matt Beaudreau and the Educating Modern Day Heroes virtual homeschool co-op. It completely changed the way we viewed education. We shifted from checking boxes to cultivating a home filled with curiosity, rich conversations, hands-on learning, and stacks of books. We discovered that education isn’t a race to the finish, but a lifelong journey of growth, shaping us into individuals who lead with purpose, act with integrity, and contribute meaningfully to the world.

Apogee St. Croix was born from that transformation. It's a space for families who believe there’s more to learning than just academics. It's for those who want to raise leaders—not someday, but now. We’re here to pursue education for life together.
