Mark Bean joined FoHVOS in 2017 and is a member of the stewardship committee. Mark’s connection to FoHVOS started with the Private Land Stewardship Program. He learned of FoHVOS and the program at the Hopewell Harvest Fair where he stopped by the FoHVOS booth and followed a suggestion to sign up for a free on-site consultation by Mike Van Clef. It was that introduction to natives and invasive management that helped Mark and his family understand there were better informed choices which could be made and helped them eventually transform their property.
Mark’s professional background is with technology and financial services. He has previously served on a board promoting STEM education and was the Vice Chair of the NYU/Stern Alumni Council. His interests in our local environment and land stewardship are a direct result of the the environmentally-focused organizations which serve our local community.
Mark earned an M.B.A. through the Executive Program at New York University’s Stern School of Business. Prior to that he earned his B.S. in Business Administration and Computer Science from Rider University. He is employed in the Financial Services industry and holds both the CFP® and CRPC® designations. Mark, his wife Samantha and their young daughter Emma live in Hopewell Township and enjoy watching wildlife in their native plant filled yard named “Flutter By Meadows.” When not tending to their native landscaping, the Beans can often be seen hiking trails and enjoying the open spaces which are part of our community.
