Meet “Team Tumbleweeds”
Justin and Jen Schroer
Publishers/Owners
Two days before Mother’s Day 2021, Justin and Jen officially became the owners of Tumbleweeds. With two toddlers, purchasing the publication was bigger than a sale. Founder, Claudette Sutton passed the torch to the next generation to carry out the Tumbleweeds commitment of being the #1 resource for Northern New Mexico families.
Jen is a C level executive who has a passion for growing local businesses and building community.
Justin is a philanthropic professional who excels at stewarding relationships and connecting resources to community needs.
Tumbleweeds Magazine is an opportunity for the Schroer’s to combine their passion and expertise. They will continue Claudette’s tradition of producing a treasured local parent resouce, while navigating parenthood themselves.
