Mark J. Lindquist doesn’t just tell people to pursue their dreams, he’s done it himself, becoming a successful actor, singer and motivational speaker while residing far from the show business meccas of NYC and LA.
That’s one reason the Fargo, ND resident has become a much sought-after speaker around the country.
Lindquist is the keynote speaker at the Huron Chamber & Visitors Bureau and Greater Huron Development Corporation’s annual meeting coming up Tuesday, April 3rd at the Huron Event Center.
If his face looks familiar, that’s because you may recognize him from his appearances on TV shows such as “Lost” and “Hawaii Five-O” or the motion picture “Battleship”. If you have attended a sporting event in recent years, you might also have heard Mark performing the National Anthem.

In addition to his military service, Linquist was working in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 11th, and served in a support capacity that day with American Red Cross.
Linquist was born in South Korea but grew up in a small town in Minnesota.
