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 related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
