Early Life
Beauprez grew up on his family's dairy farm outside of Boulder, Colorado, which had been purchased by his grandparents. His grandparents had emigrated from Belgium to Colorado and raised draft horses on the family's land. Joseph C. Beauprez and Marie Stengel, his parents, raised both Hereford and dairy cattle on the farm. Beauprez often cites his father's example as a major influence on his life.
Beauprez attended Fairview High School where he played football and was named all-conference offensive tackle. He went on to study physical education at the University of Colorado, and received his B.S. in 1970.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“No doubt they rose up early to observe
The rite of May.”

“There are two births: the one when light
First strikes the new awakened sense;
The other when two souls unite,
And we must count our life from thence,
When you loved me and I loved you,
Then both of us were born anew.”
—William Cartwright (1611–1643)
