First Floor | Fargo, ND 58102 | p: 701.866.3907 | www.fmspotlight.com THE STORY M Spotlight Magazine was developed in March of 2010 by Fargo-Moorhead advocate Mike Dragosav- ich. “Drago” became a household figure in Fargo-Moorhead after his expletory career as an All-American football player for North Dakota State University. Being from Chicago and surrounded by entertainment and Fleisure his roots helped him understand the entertainment and leisure opportunities in Fargo-Moorhead. “Ev- ery friend I talk to seemed to either have plans to leave this area or complain constantly about not having anything to do in Fargo”. Dragosavich took these comments personally and wanted to do something about the downtrod- den attitude. His vision was to educate the area with a resource that collects the entertainment and leisure op- portunities. His first publication came from “door-to-door” sales of a product that was not even available yet. After a year of hard work and trying to create value each month, his publication began to take on rapid popularity and integrity. Now, 20 months after the creation of FM Spotlight Magazine, the company has over 10 employees, a premier downtown office space, another publication and stable business partners. “I am extremely excited to see how this publication and Fargo-Moorhead grow together each month. I am grateful to have the opportunity to make an impact on an amazing area with tough environmental challenges.
