Gordon Hintz (54) Bio
Born and raised in Oshkosh, Gordon Hintz, 32, attended Longfellow and Washington Elementary Schools, Webster Stanley Middle School, and is a graduate of Oshkosh North High School.

Hintz received a bachelor’s degree in political science from Hamline University. After college, Hintz worked on the late U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone’s 1996 Senate campaign and later for U.S. Senator Herb Kohl and former U.S. Representative Jay Johnson as a Legislative Staff Assistant in Washington, DC.In 2001, he earned a master’s degree in public affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Hintz worked as a Research Assistant for Governor Tommy Thompson’s Commission on State and Local Partnerships for the 21st Century (Kettl Commission). Hintz then was selected for the prestigious Management Assistant Program in the City of Long Beach, California’s 5th largest city. He went on to work in the Long Beach Budget Bureau as an analyst on the city’s $1.7 billion annual budget.
Hintz, the son of Anne Hintz and former Oshkosh Mayor, Stephen Hintz (2002-2004) owns a house in Oshkosh near where he grew up. He enjoys playing soccer, eating fish on Fridays, and going boating on Lake Winnebago with friends and family. Gordon is a member of Oshkosh Downtown Rotary, a Steering Committee member of the Oshkosh Diversity Council, PROPEL (organization for young adults) and is a 2005 graduate of Leadership Oshkosh. In additional to municipal consulting for Public Administration Associates, LLC, Gordon is teaching American Government at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in the Fall of 2005.

He is/was also apparantly an "Air Guitar God": Gordon Hintz can’t play guitar or sing worth a damn, but the 29-year-old numbers-cruncher for the Long Beach Department of Financial Management was destined to rock.
Standing in front of his full-length bedroom mirror, bare feet planted so firmly into the tan carpet that the fibers curl around his toes, he becomes Krye Tuff, air-guitar god. Headphones hold a short ebony wig in place, black spandex clings to his legs, a snug red and black striped shirt is unbuttoned low enough to reveal his navel. His lips are scrunched into a wicked sneer. Positioning one hand near his studded belt buckle—where the guitar’s strings would be—and bending the other toward his shoulder where the neck would be, everything is in place. He reaches down and hits the play button on the CD player, and the reigning West Coast Air Guitar Champion does what he does best.
As the 60-second song plays, the 6-foot-1-inch, 210-pound Tuff jumps around the room in a frenzy, narrowly missing his desk in a series of exuberant kicks. He drops to his knees. He licks his fingers and the song ends. Sweating, Tuff stretches, restarts the CD, and does it all over again.
He did this an hour a day, every day...
