Russell Ballard Career

Russell Ballard’s impactful career traversed diverse realms of business and religious leadership.

Serving as the Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 2018 until his passing in 2023, Ballard had been a member of the Quorum since 1985.

In the business sector, he presided over Valley Music Hall in Bountiful, Utah. Despite financial challenges leading to its closure, investors found solace when the LDS Church acquired the building.

As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Ballard was revered among church members, acknowledged as a prophet, seer, and revelator.

Holding the position of the third most senior apostle at the time of his death on November 12, 2023, Ballard’s profound commitment to both religious and business endeavors left an enduring impact on the community and the LDS Church.
