About Us
Meet our staff!
Beckha Ford
- Founder/CEO
(beckha.ford@quietvoicesllc.com)
I consider myself to be an eclectic woman of intellect, articulation and
gentle spirit. I am an award winning writer of poetry and prose. I have been
happily married now after almost 4 years. I was a widow for 8. I had 2
children, 1 daughter born in 1979, and a son born in 1982. Adopted 5 girls and 1
boy, ages range from 28 down to 22.
Quiet Voices LLC came about because my late mother was hospitalized and
could not communicate with me orally. As necessity is the mother of
invention, I compiled the original Q.V. book through means of cutting and pasting
images into a three ring binder over the span of 3 years. When my mother passed
away, I left the book as an aid for the nursing home in hopes that it would
help other people. Surprisingly, the same day I received a phone call from
them asking for more books! It sparked the idea in me that I had stumbled upon
something great and that I needed to share it with the world. Quiet Voices
was born.
Stan Ford
- Founder/Vice President
(stan.ford@quietvoicesllc.com)
A lifetime resident of St. Louis, MO. After I graduated from Affton High
School, I enlisted as an Aviation Electrician's Mate in the Navy during the
Vietnam Era and received an honorable discharge after 4 years. My intent was
to obtain an Electrical Engineering Degree. The need to support my family
pushed me to get an interview at Westhoff Tool and Die. After twenty years
working there, I worked for another company called Supreme Tool and Die. A few
years later, thinking that I'd like to work for myself, I started my own
business as a Home Remodeler. After 3 years of that, I got a job
working in R&D at NORDYNE, Inc., a leading manufacturer of HVAC equipment. I
met my wife Beckha eight years ago. She came up with the idea while taking
care of her mother who had ALS.
The whole concept of helping others communicate makes sense to me and has a
good feel. As VP of Quiet Voices, I'm here to help with sales, support
staff, screen vendors, assure quality control, and basically be added grease for
the wheels of the business.

Jim Walsh
- Accountant
(jim.walsh@quietvoicesllc.com)
I am an Accountant for Stan and Beckha in the Quiet Voices organization. I got my Bachelors degree in Accounting with a minor in Business Administration from Missouri Valley College in Marshall, MO in 1981. I have known Beckha for the past 30 plus years and Stan since they have been married. I am sooo sooo excited about getting this book off the ground (and off the printer, LOL), I, know that this idea of Beckha's is something that everyone will be looking to have in their lives or someone in their families' lives.
