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:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
