Our Team

President & Co-Owner

Khadar Soussou

For me it is simple, passion for excellence must be showcased in all that we do to create unforgettable memories. From St. Edward HS to John Carroll University, I always had a love for building businesses that offer unique and creative experiences. Every guest that walks through our doors will be treated like family. On behalf of my wife Amanda and daughter Gabriella, we welcome you to The Aviator Family!

Executive Vice President

Spencer Shaw

Throughout my career, I have found that success simply rests on one’s ability to make the guest happier than when you first met. No two situations are alike, and versatility is a must. But those operations that do it right – shine. Today, finding those operations might be difficult, but finding us won’t, we’ll be the light at the end of the runway!
