Born and raised in Bergen County, New Jersey, Zack is a recent graduate of Indiana University, where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics. Zack graduated from Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest in 2014, and pitched his way to a baseball scholarship at Denison University. After one year at Denison, Zack transferred to Indiana University as his dream was to become a HOOSIER. One of his fondest memories was appearing on ESPN dressed up in a cow costume at an Indiana basketball game taking a half-court shot in front of 20,000 spectators (the shot hit the back rim)! At IU, Zack was the Vice President of Zeta Beta Tau, and under his leadership, his fraternity was awarded “Best Philanthropic ZBT Chapter” in the nation. An avid communicator with an endless desire for success, Zack is a natural fit for the Bisnow Sales Team. A die-hard sports fan, Zack is lucky that his favorite baseball team is the Yankees, as he suffers watching the Jets and Knicks lose year after year. When not talking to others, you can find Zack at the gym or relaxing with friends in Long Beach Island.
