Austin Tholen

Founded and managed a successful lawn care business, overseeing over 50 clients commercial and residential. Developed operational discipline and safety procedures applicable to aviation management. Strengthened communication and leadership skills through client interaction and team coordination.

As the owner and operator of a Cessna 172, I manage all aspects of safe flight operations, including planning, performance calculations, and regulatory compliance. I conduct thorough pre-flight and post-flight inspections, oversee maintenance coordination, and maintain precise flight and aircraft records, reflecting strong airmanship and safety-driven decision-making. Led a full interior renovation in late 2024.
