My journey in the musical circus began alongside John Eddie in 1981, and since then, it's been a whirlwind of creativity and collaboration. From recording with Columbia and Electra in the late '80s and early '90s to crafting songs that have earned acclaim at the CMA's and landed on albums by Brantley Gilbert, Miranda Lambert, and more, the ride has been unforgettable.

I picked up the guitar after hearing Blink-182 live and knew instantly it was what I wanted to do. Since then, I’ve written well over 100 songs and played my way through styles ranging from rock ’n’ roll and metal to pop, punk, and blues. What I love most about teaching is seeing that moment when everything clicks and the guitar becomes more than just practice, it becomes passion. My goal is to make learning feel easy, so every student leaves not just with skills, but with a love for the instrument.

"I grew up around music, my dad played but I felt weird asking him to teach… he’s way too strict. Found Mitch and he was very pleasing to work with. I can now play and I know all the chords and some scales. He gives a lot of homework and wants you to practice. He can be strict but he knows what he’s doing.
