Mitch grew up behind the Orange Curtain listening to Top 40 "boss" radio 93KHJ before discovering the "underground" side of the dial. He began playing guitar at 12 and soon realized there were many more opportunities for bass players. After making the switch from six to four strings, Mitch was soon playing high school dances and Knott's Berry Farm with the Surf City Boys, then performing at clubs around L.A. and O.C. with a variety of bands.

While in college, Mitch interviewed various musicians for the school newspaper, including Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Frank Zappa. During that time he also worked at KLOS radio. Since then he's worked at a variety of other local radio stations. An avid collector and musicologist, Mitch keeps up with what's current by doing mobile DJ gigs on the side. He's also taken up ukulele recently.

Mitch has performed with Eddie Money, Mike Reno of Loverboy, Jamie Jameson of Survivor, Alex Ligertwood of Santana and opened for the likes of the Plimsouls, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Poncho Sanchez, David Lee Roth and Top Jimmy & the Rhythm Pigs, among others.
