Get to know Aaron, the man behind Ahlquist Creative.
About Ahlquist Creative
Hey Hey! Welcome to Ahlquist Creative. I, Aaron Ahlquist, began Ahlquist Creative in 2012 to provide local small and medium size businesses professional marketing materials at affordable rates. I spent the previous 8 years working in graphic design and marketing in Worthington, MN.
In 2014 my wife, Emily, and I decided to act on what God placed on our hearts and move our family to Lost Timber Bible Camp in Chandler, MN and serve as the camp's Executive Director. We grew up attending this camp as children and continued to serve in a variety of roles until we decided to commit to serving God in our current capacity. Our position is a support-based position, meaning that generous friends, family, and churches contribute towards our salary. To help subsidize our income I continue to offer freelance graphic design, marketing, and printing services to area businesses. My family and I appreciate your support, it is and honor to work with you. |
About Me
I grew up in Worthington, MN and I love small to mid-sized towns. I earned an Associates Degree for Graphic Design from North Hennepin Community College in Brooklyn Park, MN. After I graduated I took a job at Prairie Holdings Group in Worthington as a graphic designer and later the graphics manager. Working in a small company offered me many opportunities to gain experience in not just graphic design, but also photography, marketing, and content writing. Eventually the graphics department was transferred to Newport Laboratories where I continued to work for four years until I took the job as Operations Director at Lost Timber Bible Camp.
I am lucky enough to be married to an amazing and gorgeous wife, Emily, and have four kids; two beautiful daughters, Emma and Tessa, and two rambunctious boys, Boaz (Bo) and Max. Remy is our energetic German Shorthair Pointer who we affectionately refer to as "Psycho Puppy." Remy is my buddy and is usually with me whether I'm hunting birds, or designing brochures.
When I'm able to get some free time I'll be playing with my kids, on a golf course, at a lake, on a softball diamond, out hunting pheasants, or up in a tree stand deer hunting. Emily says I have too many hobbies but I think I could fit a few more in. I am a big fan of the Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings, and Nebraska Huskers, "Go Big Red!"
