Beckwith was raised on a vegetable farm in Maine where he spent time working on carpentry projects while tinkering in the farm’s workshop. Beckwith attended University of Montana where his studies included English as well as martial arts. However, the talented carpenter decided to pursue other talents and moved to California to eventually become a licensed contractor. Beckwith was able to use his skills when remodeling the exterior to homes through his involvement in Curb Appeal. Fans of the show will miss seeing his creative talents at renovation.
