Beau was born and raised in Sioux Falls, SD. His love for the outdoors began at an early age, spending most of his time in a grove of trees in a field near his house. He had to take a break while he spent 12 years in the US Army and 17 years in Criminal Justice. Since then he has worked with several organizations teaching the skills of canoeing, backpacking, orienteering, wilderness survival and outdoor skills to youth and adults.
