Apogee History

Apogee Consulting Group was founded in 1999 by Michael Beezley, a service-disabled Navy veteran. Over the last two decades, Apogee has become a national firm with 5 offices across the country. Those offices serve their communities, states, and the federal government, providing exceptional problem solving and detail-oriented design. After nearly 27 years of ownership, Apogee’s founder—John Michael Beezley—has finalized a planned ownership transition to Andrew (“Andy”) Richards, an Army Veteran Electrical Professional Engineer (PE) and RCDD who has been with Apogee for more than six years. Andy has been serving as a practice leader and member of Apogee’s board. Richard’s experience and dedication have been instrumental in the success of many high-profile projects and the continued growth of this company. Under his leadership, Apogee remains an SDVOSB certified firm and continues to serve clients, veterans and civilians, nationwide.
