In 2008, he was elected to the Maine House of Representatives representing parts of Waterville and Oakland during his senior year at Colby College. In the Legislature, he was appointed House Chair of Joint Standing Committee on Insurance and Financial Services and to serve on the 2011 Commission to Apportion Maine's Congressional Districts.

Treasurer Beck's family came to central Maine nearly one hundred years ago and started a roofing company that is still operating. He is not the first Treasurer with Waterville roots, serving after Treasurers Sam Shapiro, David G. Lemoine, and Bruce L. Poliquin. Treasurer Beck is a George J. Mitchell Scholar and serves as an adviser to the American Legion Dirigo program.
