Meet the HEA Team
Ron Henriksen
Ron Henriksen grew up in Houston and fell in love with aviation while attending Sam Houston State University. After spending fourteen years as a corporate pilot, he had a very successful career in telecommunications. Henriksen was saddened by the closure of Andrau Airpark in 1998. Andrau, which had served the west side of Houston since the early 1950s, was sold to land developers.
"I decided that if I was ever in a position to do so, I would build an airport and put it in some kind of a trust, so it could never be closed after I am gone. Now I have that opportunity."
