Gary Beck is in his sixth year on the staff at Oregon State and his fourth as Coordinator of Support Services. His role with the Beaver staff includes on-campus recruiting, serving as a liaison with the medical and strength conditioning staff, and assists in the preparation of camps and opponent preparation among other duties.

Beck spent the 2006 and 2007 seasons as a graduate assistant, working with the running backs. He helped coach one of the Beavers' all-time great backs Yvenson Bernard, who finished his career sixth (now seventh) in the Pac-10 for all-time rushing yards with 3,682.

Beck is among the most honored coaches in the history of high school football in the state of Oregon. During his prep football coaching career, Beck led Corvallis High School to a pair of state AAA titles (1979, '83) and to a state runner-up finish (1986). Corvallis won the Valley League title five times.

His postseason honors include being named the Valley League Coach of the Year five times and earning the Oregon AAA Coach of the Year three times. He was a head coach in the annual summer Shrine All-Star Game three times.

Beck also served as the head baseball coach at Corvallis for three seasons and the head boys golf coach for 10 years. He started his coaching career in 1976 as the junior varsity baseball coach at Oregon State University. Beck also served as an assistant football coach, freshman boys basketball coach and assistant baseball coach.

He came to Oregon State in 2006 from Redmond High School in Central Oregon after two years as the defensive coordinator. During his entire coaching career he served as a physical education teacher.

Beck was a standout athlete at Corvallis High School during the same time frame as head coach Mike Riley. He played free safety and backup quarterback (behind Riley), helping the team to the 1970 state title. He also was a shortstop in baseball and a guard in basketball, assisting the team to the state title in '70.

Beck earned his bachelor's degree in physical education from OSU in 1976 and a master's in education from OSU in 1982. He was a four-year letterman in baseball for the Beavers and lettered on the varsity football team in 1972 as a free safety - his position coach was Riley's father, Bud.

Beck and his wife Vicki have two daughters, LeAnne and Michelle.
