In the position, Flint will manage revenue-generating activities across both Southwest Florida International Airport and Page Field.

Flint joined the Lee County Port Authority in 2019 and has held several roles within the organization’s properties department. Most recently, he served as director of properties and risk management, where he worked with airport partners to negotiate business agreements and helped develop the authority’s risk management program.

Earlier in his tenure, Flint served as manager of properties before being promoted to senior manager of properties and contracts.

Before joining the airport authority, Flint worked as an associate attorney and law clerk for the Law Office of Townsend J. Belt and Florida Advocates in Tampa.
