Beck is an experienced skier and mountain climber. As he points out, “if you walk in the wrong place, you can’t undo it.” Beck listens to Beethoven when walking.

Beck’s goal is to try to make enough money to buy better equipment such as lights for his fields (for night creating) and higher quality cameras.
