A U.S. Marine Corps veteran and graduate of the University of South Florida, Beck is the audit manager for the firm Donahoo, Cupp & Beck. Prior to his service in the House, Beck served as Mason's mayor from 2003–2005 and served on Mason City Council from 1999-2003.
When Representative Shannon Jones vacated her seat to take Bob Schuler's seat in the Ohio Senate, Beck announced his plans to seek an appointment to the vacant house seat. He was up against Lebanon City Councilman Jeffrey Monroe and law clerk Michael Eshleman. Ultimately, he was chosen for the appointment, and was seated on October 6, 2009.
In his first election bid, Beck easily won a full term with 70.74% of the vote over Libertarian Robert Waters and Democrat Anne Howard.[1] He was sworn into his first full term on January 3, 2011, and serves on the committees of Economic and Small Business Development; Finance and Appropriations and its Transportation Subcommittee; Public Utilities; and Ways and Means (as Chairman). He also is a member of the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee; and the Warren County Transportation Improvement District Board of Trustees.
