Beckel worked on the 1968 presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy and later volunteered in the Peace Corps, where he served in the Philippines from 1971 to 1972. Beckel has also worked as a consultant and, in 1984, campaign manager for Walter Mondale. He became a born-again Christian in late 2000. He received a B.A. from Wagner College in Staten Island, New York, and teaches graduate level courses about campaign management at the George Washington University school of Political Management.
