Life
Béchard was born to French-Canadian and American parents. He graduated from Marlboro College in 1997, from Middlebury College, and from the University of Guelph. He was French editor at The Adirondack Review from 2002-2004.
Though, in French, "Deni" is normally spelled "Denis," his mother named him "Deni." In French, the "s" on "Denis" is silent, and his mother removed it because she wanted English speakers to pronounce his name correctly. In 2015, he changed his middle name to Ellis, taking his mother's maiden name to honor her.
He has traveled in over sixty countries and doesn't have a permanent home, though he is often in Boston, New York, and Montreal.
