1st time fiction author
A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Beckett enlisted at nineteen, serving in temporary and permanent duty locations across the globe. His nine-year military tenure provided the foundation for a career defined by operational expertise, eventually transitioning from the service into the world of Department of Defense (DOD) contracting.
Drawing from a background that spans from Y2K state government consulting to complex Disaster Recovery (CBCP) and Security (CISSP) planning, Beckett leverages his travel experiences to weave realism into his narratives.
He holds an MBA from Auburn University campus in Montgomery and spent the culmination of his private sector career mastering Data Analytics with SAS, a discipline he uses to bring a sharp, analytical edge to his research.
Beckett is an instrument-rated pilot and certified rescue diver, skills that help inform the authenticity of his protagonist’s world. When he isn’t navigating the complexities of his next thriller, he can be found traveling throughout the world or at his home in Panama City Beach, Florida, where he has lived with his wife of nearly forty years.
