Flushman has remained involved with UC Davis football since he returned to his alma mater: As Director of Football Operations, Flushman was responsible for all administrative duties related to the Aggies' Football Championship Subdivision Program, including team travel and budget. Over the years he transitioned to the role of associate athletics director and, most recently, senior associate AD, which includes oversight of the program’s budget, daily operations and scheduling, among other duties.
 
Flushman’s tenure at Cal built the foundation of success for his current position; as the Golden Bears’ Olympic sports director, he managed day-to-day and long-term operations for 24 men's and women's programs. NCAA rules compliance, event management, recruiting, creating and managing budgets were core responsibilities of this position. 
 
In addition to his BA degree, Flushman earned a master’s degree in sports psychology from John. F. Kennedy University in 2005.
 
He and his wife, Claudia, reside in Davis with their son, Lucas.
