Dr. Beechaum honorably served his country as an Infantry Soldier in the United States Army National Guard for seven years, including three years as an Assistant Chaplain in the Field Artillery. Following his military service, he dedicated himself to youth development, working for five years as a youth counselor at the Peter Paul Development Center, later rising to serve as Executive Director. Under his leadership, he launched impactful initiatives such as the Youth Empowering to Achieve Progress (Y.E.A.P.) program and multiple fatherhood initiatives—one of which became the longest-running Fatherhood program in Richmond.

Currently, Dr. Beechaum serves as Director of TRIO Student Support Services at Virginia Union University and as Vice President of Infinity Bible Seminary. He also previously served with distinction as Moderator of the Chickahominy Baptist Association (CBA).

He is happily married to the lovely former Jenell James, and together they are the proud parents of two daughters, Chanell and Danielle.

Throughout his life and ministry, Dr. Beechaum has been a tireless advocate for families, children, and seniors across the Tri-City area. His service has been recognized by three Virginia Governors, numerous churches, corporations, and community organizations. Yet, despite these honors, Dr. Beechaum remains grounded in his faith. What drives him most is his unwavering commitment to doing the will of his Heavenly Father.

Jesus Christ is the center of his life. As he often says, it is not simply that he loves Christ—but that Christ first loved him. His heartfelt prayer is that if you don’t yet know the Lord, you will come to know Him today (Romans 10:9–10).
