Meet Flint
Being part of a community comes with a sense of belonging.
Flint is a lifelong Nebraskan with deep roots across the state. Raised along Highway 75—from Pawnee City to Homer—he brings a strong connection to both rural and urban communities. After graduating from Homer High School, Flint moved to the Omaha metro area to attend the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where he earned both his B.S. and M.S. in Secondary Education.
For the past 14 years, Flint has dedicated his career to serving students as a special education teacher. He and his wife, Shylo—a lifelong South Omaha resident—have made their home in the Hanscom Park neighborhood, where they’re raising their son and staying actively involved in the community.
Flint’s commitment to education, equity, and community drives his passion for public service.
