In 2008 he became the first American in the sports history to win National Club Championships on three continents (New York Athletic Club USA '05, Fluminense Brazil '06, Marseille France '08.) [2]
In addition to winning the silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games, Beaubien is a three-time Pan-American Gold medalist (Santo Domingo '03, Rio de Janeiro '07, Guadalajara '11).
