A University of South Florida broadcast journalism major, Flynn became a full-time Pewter Reporter immediately after he graduated from USF with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications in 2002.
Flynn quickly established himself as one of the top Bucs beat writers in the Tampa Bay area by breaking stories and writing compelling feature stories on PewterReport.com, along with his popular columns, Flynn’s Focus and Fourth Down, which appear regularly on-line and in the Pewter Report magazine, respectively.
Flynn prides himself on bringing Bucs fans the news and scoop they crave on a regular basis, and his tireless work ethic has been widely recognized by Bucs fans and by Pewter Report. After subscribing to then-Buccaneer Magazine in 1999, Flynn landed an internship with the publication in 2000. Since being hired full-time in 2002, Flynn has been promoted several times. After starting as a contributing writer, Flynn worked his way up to being assistant editor and managing editor prior to his most recent promotion of associate publisher and editor-in-chief.
In addition to helping produce and write each issue of Pewter Report and operating and updating the PewterReport.com website, Flynn occasionally finds time to sneak away from One Buccaneer Place to make television appearances on Bay News 9, Catch 47 and Fox 13. Bucs fans can also hear Flynn live on the radio at 8:30 a.m. every Monday morning with 620 AM WDAE host Dan Sileo.
Born in Sussex, New Jersey and raised in Palm Harbor, Florida, Flynn lives in Lutz, Florida with his wife, Jodi, and their Pug, Hanna.
