Steve prefers a work environment where people appreciate intelligence, spark, humor, wit and a paradoxical mind. A Wall St. Veteran and former Hedge Fund Manager who worked at Bear Stearns’ New York headquarters, Steven Zoernack is a dedicated and passionate entrepreneur who has previously launched 4 NY International investment funds and a Wall Street commercial real estate finance company that sold loans sized $5mm and up to NY investment banks to include in their securitizations (CMBS). Steve’s other interests now include ownership, financing, development, management, and disposition of large balance income producing commercial and multifamily real estate globally. Mr. Zoernack is turning 1000s of acres of dying citrus groves in Florida to eco-friendly and sustainable bamboo plantations. "Bamboo grows best on citrus land, uses similar irrigation and nutrition practices but has no material pests and diseases and can produce profits 5 times what an acre of citrus can. When planted, clumping-type bamboo looks similar to an orange grove, with a planned setting and everything precisely in its place,” according to Steven Zoernack. He also states that "bamboo is an incredibly versatile crop, with a wide range of potential uses. It can be used in construction as a sustainable alternative to wood, for example, or in the production of textiles, paper, and even food products. This versatility means that bamboo has the potential to be a significant contributor to the global economy, providing new opportunities for farmers, investors and entrepreneurs alike.
