Mitchell found his passion for exercise through his time playing High School football, Olympic weightlifting, and the technical aspects of exercise. This love for exercise and helping others reach their goals led him to pursue a degree in exercise science. While going to school he worked in the field training a wide variety of people from athletes with collegiate sport aspirations to working with seniors in assisted living facilities.

He believes to reach any aspiration in life it takes hard work and dedication; this is no different in fitness. His passion in life is helping people achieve these goals by creating a fun and engaging environment for people to learn and grow. This is what fulfills his life as a professional and individual.

In Mitchell's free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He loves to stay active by weightlifting, fishing, kayaking, and swimming. He is also a big sports fan, especially Minnesota sports teams.
