Meet the Beeline team.
Rachel Beebe
Member, Tester, Office Manager Hello! I'm the voice you'll usually hear when you call our office. I've been working with the company in one form or another since the year 2000, starting with simple administrative work for my father when I was 14, followed by testing, and eventually taking over management of the company in 2010. I've learned that providing friendly, knowledgeable service is key to what what we do, and I'm committed to making sure our customers can rely on this as they work with us. I've lived in Portugal, moonlighted (moonlit?) as a farmer in Scotland, and make a mean Jack Rose. My husband Jacob and I have two young kiddos and live on a small farm. When I'm not doing backflow work, I like to take in live music, cook, play nerdy Eurogames, read, and plot the restoration of the native white oak habitat that our farm sits on.

Jacob Warren
Member and Tester Hi, I'm Jacob. I have a background in civil engineering, but gave up my day job in 2013 to join Rachel as a tester while she built her business. I specialize in testing larger backflow assemblies, doing vault work, and performing repairs. I love that most of my testing work takes place in the great outdoors, and I'm proud to be part of protecting our region's drinking water. I currently divide my work hours between testing, caring for our two kids, and taking care of farm chores. When I'm not testing or wrangling the minis, I'm out tapping bigleaf maples for syrup, chopping firewood, and doing forestry work to further restoration efforts on the farm. I attend the occasional pub quiz (geography is my specialty!), and also happen to be an excellent tailor.

Roland Beebe
Tester and Former Owner I served as owner of the company from 1998-2010. My background as a mechanical engineer helped me gain a good technical understanding of backflow testing and all the intricacies it entails. During the time that I owned the company, I served as president of Oregon's chapter of the ABPA, a group of backflow professionals dedicated to advancing the cause of safe drinking water for everybody. I'm often told my standards are very high, and it's true. My daughter Rachel, who started working for me in 2000 and bought the business in 2010, has maintained our tradition of quality service, and continued our legacy of technical expertise. I'm proud to see this important work continue. These days, I stay licensed as a backup tester, just in case. Rachel and I still talk backflow from time to time, and I continue to lend my expertise and natural curiosity to helping solve the occasional backflow quandary.
