Mark C. Zweig was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on March 4, 1958, the fourth child of Evelyn and Frederick Zweig. His father was first a partner in a St. Louis ad agency, then went out on his own as a management and motivational consultant to companies and religious organizations, later returning to the ad business. His mother was a real estate agent that eventually became the personal assistant to the founder and chairman of Sunmark Candy Company.

Early on, Mark had a strong interest in architecture, often building complex to-scale models of homes with Legos after designing them on graph paper. He also loved anything with wheels. At age 12, he began to work at Kirkwood Cycle Shop, after his father suggested he volunteer his time for free, as a trial to see if they would hire him. By age 16, he had already owned multiple vehicles. Zweig said. “I probably owned 50 cars before I got out of high school. I always had a fleet of 2-3 cars and 1-2 motorcycles at all times. My first car was a 1950 Ford. I owned just about every muscle car made in the 60s and early 70s at one time or another.”

After graduating from High School, Mark attended Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois, where he received a B.S. in Administrative Sciences/Organization Behavior in three years and then went on to get his MBA in only one year.

From 1980-1983, he worked for Michael Latas & Associates in St. Louis, and then The Pickering Firm in Memphis from 1983-1985, where he was the youngest shareholder ever (at age 26), before going on to work for Carter & Burgess in Fort Worth until 1988.

In 1988, he set out on his own and started Mark Zweig and Associates, a management consulting and publishing firm, with only $1,000.00 initial capital. He early-on added Fred White as a partner and the firm became ZweigWhite in 1994. ZweigWhite was an Inc 500 winner in 1995 and 1996. In 2004, the firm was sold to Cardinal Growth and Zweig moved to Fayetteville, AR.

In Fayetteville, he founded Mark Zweig Inc, a specialized residential redevelopment firm that does speculative renovations of single-family residences in Northwest Arkansas. Zweig’s homes are widely publicized and he won “Best Historic Restoration” in Fayetteville in 2009. In 2010, he had revenues of $3 million+. The firm’s motto is “Rebuilding Fayetteville, one house at a time!”

Zweig also became an Executive-in-Residence at the Sam. M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas where he teaches entrepreneurship, and is on the Dean’s Circle of The Fay Jones School of Architecture. He’s a loved and admired instructor, just read his reviews on ratemyprofessor.com! Zweig has four daughters. His two oldest are Christina, born in 1987 and Anna, born 1991. His first marriage to Susan ended and Zweig later remarried in 2003 to Katie. He had two more children with Katie--Olive, born in 2006 and Hazel, born in 2011.

In 2010, Zweig re-acquired his ownership interest in ZweigWhite (with co-owner Greg Lindberg and BIA Digital Partners) and moved its headquarters to Fayetteville. Today, ZweigWhite is the nation’s leader in enhancing business performance for architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firms.
