Mark J Lindquist's life and career are two of the most awe-inspiring stories you have ever heard. The moment your people have the opportunity to listen to this journey, they will come to two conclusions: 1) I can and will do more with my life and career and 2) There are simply no more valid excuses - I must achieve what I was put on earth to achieve.
Mark is a person who believes that if one human being can do a thing, then you can too. He started life in an orphanage in Seoul, South Korea, was adopted and was brought to America at the age of 8 months and raised on a farm in rural Minnesota. Performing was in his blood from a young age and the culminating moment of his teenage years came when he was given the opportunity to speak on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for the AmeriCorps graduating class of 2000. Always a servant, as his mother and father taught him, Mark continued his service in the United States Air Force and served honorably at Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii. There, he had the incredible opportunity to sing the National Anthem for the US Military as well as for a world touring entertainment unit called Tops in Blue, which is similar to a USO or Bob Hope show. During his time on the Island of Oahu, Mark earned a few roles on ABC's LOST, CBS' Hawaii Five-O and in the Universal Studios movie "Battleship."
Since launching his motivational speaking firm (Mark J Lindquist Motivational Speaking and Entertainment) and his consulting firm (Lindquist and Associates), he has had the opportunity to speak for the largest companies in America (McDonald's, Walmart, Starbucks, IBM), sing for the largest crowds in America (NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA), and perform for the President of the United States of America. He is widely known in the professional speaking industry as the fastest growing motivational speaker in America, having been invited to deliver guest lectures to over 1500 aspiring and professional speakers, including many Hall of Fame Speakers.
Since March of 2022, Mark has been on an unpaid, self-directed humanitarian mission to Ukraine to deliver non-lethal aid directly to Ukrainians. Mark is a United States Air Force and Afghanistan War Veteran. He currently lives in Fargo, North Dakota. |
