Mark J. Lindquist 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.”
The Crude Life was honored to sponsor, in part, Mark’s national anthem performances at the Bakken BBQ, Williston Basin Petroleum Conference and North Dakota Petroleum Council’s Annual Meeting.
Since March of 2022, Mark has been on an unpaid, self-directed humanitarian mission to Ukraine to deliver non-lethal aid directly to Ukrainians.
Forming the “A-Team”, which are a group of alike minded people who shared resources and skills, and they are doing everything they can to help those people who lost homes, families and more.
He is asking for your help. Mark doesn’t want you to forget about these people who are giving everything everyday and that you keep supporting the people, the mission and more.

The “A-Team” Ukraine is a group of unpaid volunteers operating in eastern Ukraine since March of 2022. We hand-deliver humanitarian aid as close as 1 mile away from the Russian enemy lines. We are a group of young, energetic, idealistic do-gooders who have chosen to put ourselves in harms way so others don’t have to. We are veterans, civilians, western volunteers from over a dozen countries and we’re all doing everything we can to save lives in Ukraine this year.
“Jason, our here in the Ukraine, we call this the first Instagram War,” Lindquist said. “This war is being fought on social media.”
Lindquist continues sharing several examples of why they are calling this the Instagram War, including soldiers wearing GoPros and body cams. The two discuss how the citizens are getting involved in social media too.
“The people of the Ukraine are so much more technologically accepting than the United States,” Lindquist said.
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 (National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball, NCAA), and perform for the President of the United States of America.
Mark 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.
Mark is a United States Air Force and Afghanistan War Veteran.
The Carbon Conference 2024 will bring sustainable stakeholders and energy enthusiasts together that wish to capture CO2 emissions safely and transport the CO2 via pipelines, allowing the captured CO2 to be permanently stored in deep underground formations. The Carbon Conference 2024 is dedicated to advancing the necessary conversation regarding carbon emissions, capture, transportation, and storage.
The Conference Center at the Tuscany Suites & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the perfect venue to encourage productive discussions and diverse dialogue - both pro and con - everyone’s voice will be heard in order to find a positive path forward for all parties concerned.
The Carbon Conference has partnered with the Energy Exposition & Resources Symposium for multiple reasons. Their 25 years of successful Energy Exposition conferences is extremely valuable experience in the Carbon Conference's first year, however what may be more important is why it started.
Over 25 years ago, Wyoming was in the middle of an energy dispute similar to the carbon pipeline and storage issues. The Energy Exposition was started in order to broker peace and bring all voices to the table in a conference format. Twenty-five years later a similar situation is presented in the world of carbon.
We believe this partnership with the Energy Exposition & Resources Symposium will ensure fair deals will get done and peace will be brokered at the Carbon Conference 2024 Las Vegas.
The Carbon Conference is limited to 500 stakeholders, policymakers, impacted parties, and industry experts to ensure a solution-focused event, bringing together as many decision-makers to the table in order to discuss all the pressing issues related to carbon emissions.
We encourage you and/or your company to participate in this remarkable event. Sponsorships will not only allow your participation at the conference, but also provide your company with valuable exposure to a diverse audience of multi-industry professionals and stakeholders.
