Meet Our VP/Owner/Salesperson


Todd Freitag

Todd graduated from Bowman High School in 1986 and went on to get his bachelor of Science in Business & Marketing at Evangel College in Springfield, MO where he graduated in 1990. Right out of college, Todd married his first love, Kari and then almost immediately launched a very successful career in sales and management. Being one of the top multi-million dollar sales producers in his industry allowed him to work his way up to the top of management with one of the most prestigious companies in the United States. It was paramount in his industry to provide outstanding customer service and to build close and lasting relationships built on trust. In 2001 Todd, his wife, and their four children decided to move back to North Dakota to be near both of their parents and to raise their children in a great environment. Before Todd made this major decision to not only leave his job, but his industry, he realized that he would have to find an industry which would allow him to meet his high standards for business. With that being said, Todd found a perfect fit with Sparling Construction, Inc., because not only was this Todd's second passion, building and remodeling, but Todd also found the same values, goals and reputation that he was used to being affiliated with. Todd and Dan make a great Management & Selling Team and communicate closely as the company moves to new levels. Todd has been responsible for the over-all operations of the company, including marketing, advertising, personnel, purchasing of new product lines, and sales. Todd enjoys creating synergy both internally with the employees and externally with the clients. He is a highly motivated individual who loves to think BIG. Todd's hobbies include landscaping, gardening, hunting, music, and spending time with wife and four children. He is also a Board Member at his church and invests his extra time and energy into helping his church grow.
