Jake Bergmann is the founder of one of the state’s biggest suppliers of a medical marijuana company.
According to Sun-Sentinel, “Bergmann stepped down as the CEO of Surterra Wellness on Nov. 5, 2018, a day before Fried was elected agriculture commissioner, according to a company news release.
He founded the Atlanta-based company in 2014.”
