And his older brother, Josh.
Both have a form of muscular dystrophy, Becker, that those closest to them or who have known them for years are aware of, but others could miss.
But Jess Westman, a Hardin-Simmons senior, put his theater talents to the task of shining a light. Not just on muscular dystrophy but on the disabled.
He has written the script and music for Wheels: An Original Musical, a production that opens Thursday at Behrens Auditorium at HSU. He also is the director, with the assistance of Dylan Scott.
Westman also is one of the main characters, Elijah. Elijah and his sister, Nancy, have an even more serious form of muscular dystrophy, called Duchenne. It primarily affects boys and begins its debilitating effects at an early age.

May 18 FORT WORTH A Fort Worth man who told a detective his alternate personality James killed his 83-year-old great-aunt for $30 in 1999 is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday.
Quintin Phillippe Jones, now 41, was convicted of murder in February 2001 and sentenced to die for killing and robbing 83-year-old Berthena Bryant.
A stay of execution was denied on May 12 by the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Attorneys for Jones, who has been on death row in Texas for more than 20 years, had filed the stay motion, saying his death sentence had been obtained by false and misleading scientific evidence, and that the Fort Worth man is intellectually disabled.
Palm Springs’ House of Tomorrow, an Elvis Presley hideaway, sells for $2.6 million [Los Angeles Times]
One of the most striking homes in Palm Springs has finally sold. All it took was six years of relists and price cuts that saw the original $9.5-million tag slowly whittled down to the final sale price of $2.6 million.
Known as the House of Tomorrow, the futuristic dwelling in Vista Las Palmas not only stands out as one of the most stylish Midcenturies in a city filled with them, but it also holds a special place in rock ‘n’ roll history. The home is where Elvis and Priscilla Presley flocked to after their secretive wedding in 1967, and listing photos show a portrait of the couple adorning one of the stone-clad walls.
