For his efforts to fight for Montana and our Western way of life, Aaron Flint was recognized by the Montana Pro Rodeo Hall and Wall of Fame with their first ever "Great Western Media Award." He began his journey in Montana politics and broadcasting while working in the US Senate as a student at Howard University over 20 years ago. Following the 9-11 terror attacks, Aaron came back to Montana and enlisted in the military, embarking on deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula. He recently retired as a Lt. Colonel with over 20 years of service in the Army National Guard/Reserve. His initial foray into the news industry consisted of stuffing newspapers for his grandparents at the Glasgow Courier when he was a child. Aaron has deep roots in Montana. His family homesteaded on both sides of the state. He worked in television at Q2 News to his involvement in politics, and hosted a statewide radio talk show for over a decade. His prior political roles include serving as a legislative aide to Senator Conrad Burns, acting as the communications director for the 2016 campaign of now-governor Greg Gianforte, and a stint as the state director for Congressman Ryan Zinke.
