DENVER — National Park Service Regional Director Mike Reynolds announced the selection of Brandon Flint as superintendent of Golden Spike National Historical Park in Utah. Flint currently serves as the Chief of Administration at Cape Cod National Seashore in Massachusetts. He will assume his new role on April 26, 2020.
 
“The marking of the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad helped connect visitors to a significant moment in history and highlight our country’s ongoing technological achievements,” said Reynolds. “I’m confident that Brandon’s collaborative approach and business acumen will build on the momentum of the park’s recent initiatives.”
 
"I am deeply honored to be selected as the next Superintendent of Golden Spike National Historical Park,” said Flint. “I was raised in Davis County, Utah, and have many wonderful memories of visiting the park while growing up. I look forward to returning home and working with the park’s staff, volunteers, and the local communities to continue to commemorate the amazing accomplishment of completing the transcontinental railroad.” 
 
Prior to his position at Cape Cod National Seashore, Flint completed the National Park Service Bevinetto Fellowship that included a year with the House of Representatives in the Natural Resources Committee staff, and a year with the National Park Service Office of Legislative Affairs in Washington, D.C. During his time in D.C, he also served as the Interagency Pass Program Manager with the National Recreation Fee Program. He has worked at Lassen Volcanic and Yosemite National Parks in California, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. Flint has a bachelor’s degree in Parks and Recreation from Utah State University and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Baltimore in Maryland.
 
Flint and his wife Sarah, who also grew up in Utah, are looking forward to returning to the area and enjoying Utah’s great outdoors. Flint’s hobbies include gardening, skiing, camping, boating and fishing.
