Dr. Tommy Ahlquist
CEO,
Ball Ventures Ahlquist

Tommy Ahlquist is a visionary who combines a strong work ethic with a keen ability to seize opportunities and turn them into successful ventures. Starting as a teenage entrepreneur, he worked his way through medical school and a residency in emergency medicine while building a career that spanned 18 years in the ER, treating over 45,000 patients. Alongside his medical practice, Tommy founded Stat Pads in 2001 to revolutionize defibrillation services, and Ahlquist Development in 2004, which transformed cities across Idaho with its innovative projects.

With more than 3.5 million square feet developed and a total value north of 1.6 billion, Ahlquist Development has shattered expectations. Notable projects include Eagle View Landing - home of Idaho’s first TopGolf, Ten Mile Crossing, Pioneer Crossing, Eighth and Main, City Center Plaza and dozens of other sites and buildings.

“I’m often asked what my most memorable project or building is,” says Tommy. “My immediate answer is always this: the next one. The joy is in the process! We create places for people to work and spaces for families to live and play. What’s most rewarding is creating, building, and delivering new areas for our community to thrive.”
