Flinn started the certification process in 2009 in order to improve his ability to better understand and serve the needs of his clients and prospects. He has successfully accomplished all of the CTSM program requirements: a 28-course core curriculum, a comprehensive examination and acceptance of a Candidate Portfolio. Flinn will be recognized in March 2013 as one of the new CTSM graduates at the annual awards ceremony at EXHIBITOR2013.

A 20 year industry veteran, Flinn has been an Account Executive with MC² since 2008.

Prior to joining the exhibit industry, Flinn worked as an offset printing pressman and in sales servicing the printing industry.
