Spotlight on Mark Frieberg

Mark came to Minnesota from Roslyn, NY when his father’s job transfer brought the family to St Louis Park. Mark took us through his career beginning with losing his job right before his wedding. Decided to try real estate at age 21 and became successful and after ten years he started a mortgage company which was very successful up until the recession. At that point he started an e-commerce business which also became very successful. Mark’s community service career began with a seat on EP Heritage Preservation Committee, then Happy Fines the EP Planning Commission and last year ran for and was elected to EP City Council. Mark is on the lookout for the next “door to build”.
