My name is Jeff Becker, and I'm eager to begin my 26th year in education. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, then studied Broadcast Communications at Wheaton College, west of Chicago. Following college I worked at several radio stations in south Florida. From there I moved to Brisbane, Australia where I did mission work with the Presbyterian Church. While in Australia, I became interested in education. Upon my return to the US, I obtained my teaching certification and began teaching in the far north suburbs of Chicago.

I married my wife, also a teacher, in 2001. We both earned a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from NE IL University in Chicago and soon moved to Brevard, NC where I became principal at Pisgah Forest Elementary. Several years later we moved to Lexington to be closer to family. I have been in administration the last 15 years in Lexington 2. I am excited to conclude my career in education where I began, teaching elementary children.

I live in Lexington with my wife and 2 daughters. I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time with my family.
