Beck is a veterinarian with three years of postdoctoral studies of environmental toxicology. He got the idea for this book when he saw several ski boots on the porch of one of his clients. He had to give up practice after a doctor told him, “Change locations and change occupations or be put in a pine box.” This didn’t leave too many options. He worked for a few years for the health department in Utah studying the health effects of environmental pollutants. He later worked for the state of Delaware overseeing the investigation of toxic waste sites. This was followed by years working for the Air Force providing guidance for the cleanup of toxic sites of one of their bases. After retiring, he moved to the western side of the Olympic Peninsula and helped one of the native Indian tribes get out of trouble with a number of federal and local governmental agencies. He is a volunteer for the American Red Cross and for a local minimal security correction center where he and his wife meet with inmates weekly at the correction center. He is also an appointed member of the city planning commission and is active in his church. He is actively engaged in trying to prepare the area for a massive earthquake that is expected to hit the west coast of northwestern United States and western Canada. In his spare time, he enjoys rock hounding and writing mysteries. Mysteries are a bit of departure from his writing of scientific and technical materials.view less
