Ken Beck: Paving a Path to Meaning
When Ken Beck, 1967 B.E.E., closed a successful career as a high-tech exec, he built another at The Crossings, a progressive learning center, meeting place, and spa in the Texas hill country outside Austin. "We focus on wellness. . .and on helping people find meaning and inspiration in their lives."
New Territory
"After 35 years with large companies, I had no experience with a start-up," says Beck. Now, The Crossings’ award-winning facilities and undulating 210-acre campus draw guests-and praise-from around world, and employ more than 100. Beck attributes his success partly to the problem-solving discipline he learned as an engineering student: "It has served me well in every position."
