Michael Beinenson
Focused on environmentally conscious and financially sound business models across the Southeast.
Michael believes in the importance of preserving our environmental equilibrium and has devoted the last several years of his professional career to ensuring that our presence on this planet leaves a positive mark.
This all started in 2013 when Michael made the decision to drive electric. At that time Electric Vehicles were a novelty, and with the advent of American-made Nissan LEAF, driving on electrons was possible. He soon joined the EV Club of the South and became a very active member and significantly contributed to the promotion of the EV movement. Michael appears in many interviews, articles, and video posts devoted to electric mobility.
Michael’s passion is in environmental restoration and preservation. After years of working on numerous land projects, he finds enjoyment in seeing nature being restored to its natural state through active mitigation efforts or passive preservation initiatives.
Michael graduated high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts in economics and management from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. Mr. Beinenson is philanthropically involved with the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. In his spare time, you can find him cheering at an Atlanta United game or spending time outdoors with his two kids and wife of twenty-three years, Natalia.

Frenchie
This chocolate guy, Francesco (aka Frenchie), is also a part of our Eco Terra family. He is an English Cocker Spaniel. Don’t dare to call him a Boykin; he might not like it. His parents and grandparents are hunters and currently reside where Frenchie is from, Otter Creek Farm. No wonder he is as fast as lightning. This little curly pal is no joke in the snuggle department. He has equal parts in energy and patience. He is the happiest when he is with his people; therefore, you can find Frenchie following us in the house, in the office working (NOT), and traveling all over the States.
