Mitch was a champion swimmer, swimming for Thomas Jefferson H.S and King Aquatic Club . He attended Truman H.S in Federal Way, WA where he met his partner Bridget.

Mitch entered the workforce in his teen years as a mover and worked his way up through the moving industry. He took a break and joined his brother Matt at then Todd's shipyard in the Transportation Department, helping build one of the ferries for WA state. Mitch was a die hard Oakland Raiders fan and loved to challenge anyone who doubted his team. The family will be holding a celebration of life for Mitch in the upcoming month, all are welcome to attend.
