Nick Belluardo graduated from Kent State University with concentrations in both Air Traffic Control and Aviation Management, accompanied by minors in both Business and Management.  While still an undergraduate, Nick was hired as the airport manager for Wadsworth Municpal Airport.  After nearly two years of serving Wadsworth he was hired by the Jefferson County Regional Airport Authority to manage the Jefferson County Airport.  All this by age 23!!  Nick states that his resourcefulness stems from his involvement in many aviation organizations such as the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Grand Chapter of AAAE, NBAA, and the Ohio Aviation Association.

Nick is a registered Aviation Merit Badge Councilor with the Boy Scouts of America, and a member of the General Aviation Planning Committee at AAAE's Annual Conference.

He is a recipient of a grant provided by the Northeast Chapter of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) to attend their annual conference.
