First and foremost, family is very important to me. I was born in Cambridgeshire, England. Dad was stationed in the Air Force and mom went to stay with him in England. Both my dad and mom’s side came to the US in the early 1700s. Both sides fought in the revolutionary war. On my dad's side, the first immigrant came at 15 years old and had to work about four years for the ship captain to pay off his debt before he was allowed to go free. He bought property in Indiana. But there were not many European women and married a Native American woman.

We moved to Carmichael in 1958. Whitney Ave Elementary for kindergarten. Mission Ave Elementary school grade school. Winston Churchill for middle school. Achieved my Eagle Scout from Boy Scouts of America. Graduated from La Sierra High School. During high school, worked in the library, stacking books and discovered a little book called Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I read more of his books which was a gateway to existentialism and level philosophy. I read all I could get my hands on related to philosophy, theology, and humanities, including arts and music.

With $40 and my Bible called “Dharma Bums” by Jack Kerouac, I hitchhiked to Tahoe up Highway 395 to Washington and to Spokane World’s Fair, from Spokane I hitchhiked to Seattle and figured out how to hop freight trains and took trains from Seattle to Oregon border and hitchhiked home.

I went to American River College for two years. Then went to UC Davis majoring in philosophy. I met Carol at UC Davis majoring in psychology. She graduated with a psychology degree. I proposed to Carol on top of Mount Price of the Crystal Range southwest of Lake Tahoe. We are married 42 years with two children and three grandchildren. While at UC Davis, a devil kept whispering in my ear and I finally realized that to major in philosophy, I would have to learn 5 languages fluently, get a doctorate and straight A's to maybe get an eventual professorship. so the devil had its way and after a year I transferred to Sac State to major in accounting. The devil was my dad.

After graduating, I passed all parts of the CPA exam on the first sitting, which was done by less than 3% of those taking the exam. I passed the Enrolled Agent’s Exam and the Internal Revenue Service. I passed the exams for the Certified Valuation Analysis to do Business Valuations. I initially partnered with my dad as “Beil and Beil Inc”.

Carol had a devil as well with her father, and she got her masters in accounting and has been working with me ever since. Along with accounting and tax, I did business consultations, creating a management advisory philosophy called Beil's 5 pillars in business administration and Biel's three legs to the stool for business success. Beil's five pillars is a delineation system with emphasis on the areas of concentration in business. Administration operations, Marketing, Product Development and Quality assurance. The three legs to the stool: Probability, Cash Flow and ROI.

I had various business ventures and the real estate investments, some real successes and real failures. At this point my daughter got her bachelors in genetics and had the same devil as I had, her grandfather, and she got her master’s in accounting and has been my right hand person for the last 10 years. She will be taking over the business and I am working towards retiring. I am not taking any new clients. I am going back to my roots in philosophy, theology and the humanities and have several writing projects in the works. I am of course involved with Rotary, but also on the board of the Jinan Sacramento Sister Cities Corporation. And involved member of the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd and the Northern California Koyasan Buddhist Temple. I have six ways to approach theology to determine how to “1. address a deity 2 approach a deity. 3. experience a deity 4. receive the deity. 5. worship the deity and 6. manifest the deity.”
