Bart Becker is a board member of Bellevue East Lacrosse, helping out with the organization’s communications. He also pitches in as a behind-the-scenes support staff for the coaches. He got hooked on lacrosse when his daughter tried it for the first time in seventh grade. He lives in South Bellevue.

Growing up in Nebraska, his own main sport was basketball, and he still thinks competitive team sports provide good lessons about success and failure. He likes that the girls who play lacrosse for Bellevue East are fast, strong, smart, and skilled—and that they have a lot of fun out there.
