Lesley Beador

I’m Lesley Beador, a proud mother, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who believes in living life to the fullest. At my core, I’m a mom to three amazing kids who inspire me every day with their creativity and individuality. My daughter Inga is pursuing acting, and Anna is exploring both singing and acting—watching them chase their dreams reminds me of the beauty of following your passion.

I grew up near Lake Tahoe, where I fell in love with the outdoors early on. Skiing, hiking, and soaking in the majesty of the mountains shaped who I am today. Even as a teenager, I was motivated and driven—I took community college courses as a sophomore so I could graduate high school six months early from South Tahoe High. That determination has carried into everything I’ve done since.

Today, I’m pouring my energy into building my own skincare line. For me, wellness and beauty are about more than looking good—they’re about helping people feel confident, vibrant, and authentic in their own skin. It’s a project that excites me every day and fuels my entrepreneurial spirit.

Philanthropy is equally important in my life. I’m passionate about giving back, whether through supporting multiple charities or personally delivering meals with Meals on Wheels. Small acts of kindness, like a warm meal or a friendly smile, can mean so much, and I never take that for granted.

Family and adventure are at the heart of everything I do. My husband, David, is a civil engineer who designs and builds bridges and freeways, and together we’ve built a life full of love, travel, and discovery. Summers are spent in Park City, Utah, where we’re currently restoring historic homes, while holidays often take us to Montana, where we raft, hike, snowmobile, and ride quads. We’re also frequent visitors to Yellowstone National Park—a place that always leaves me in awe with its endless beauty and wildlife.

Travel has given me some of my greatest joys. I’ve visited 48 states so far, and each journey has offered a new perspective and lasting memories. Closer to home, I keep active with yoga, spin classes, paddle boarding, skiing, and crafting with my kids. These activities keep me grounded, healthy, and connected to the people and passions that matter most.

My life is defined by resilience, creativity, and connection—whether it’s through my family, my entrepreneurial work, or my efforts to give back. I believe in embracing every opportunity with gratitude and joy, and I’m excited for the adventures still ahead.
