        Born in 1944, Roger Beebe was a cadet with the First North Saskatchewan Infantry during his teen years. In 1963, he joined the Royal Canadian Airforce (RCAF) as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician. He spent four of his six years of service stationed in NATO bases in Europe with 1 Wing in Marville, France, and Lahr, Germany.

        After leaving the RCAF, Beebe was an Avionics Technician and Mechanic at Wardair from 1969 to 1972. He then moved to become an Avionics Technician for Air Canada from 1972 to 1974. Later in 1974, he joined the Ontario Ministry of Transport and Communications as Senior Vehicle Safety Systems Research Technician. The following year he became Avionics Inspector with Transport Canada. He occupied successive posts at Transport Canada, including: Avionics Inspector from 1975 to 1978; Superintendent Manufacturing, Repair and Overhaul from 1978 to 1980; Superintendent, Avionics from 1980 to 1982; Chief, Maintenance and Manufacturing, 1982 to 1992; Regional Director, Airworthiness, for the Western Region from 1992 to 1995; Acting Regional Director, Aviation, for the Western Region in 1995; Regional Director, Civil Aviation, for the Prairie and Northern Region, from 1996 to 2005; and, Senior Advisor to the Regional Director-General, for the Prairie and Northern Region, from 2005 to 2007.
