Mitch started out on the cruise ships of Carnival Cruise Lines, cutting his teeth out of LA & Miami spinning in the on board club. In 2007 he began writing for industry publications such as the ADJA Newsletter, Disc Jockey News and MobileBeat.com, and then began speaking at conferences in 2009. In the years since, Mitch has grown to become a sought after international speaker, coach and trainer who has impacted thousands over the course of his career through interactive workshop instruction, sales mentoring, online training, and personal coaching.
In 2017, Mitch wrote the book on sales for the events industry, aptly titled SALES For Event Pros, which outlined his 5 step process where he grew his business to multiple six figures in a town where the closest Starbucks at the time was over 60 miles away. Mitch has since used that working sales knowledge to his advantage, becoming a remote inside salesperson for companies from Connecticut to Colorado, and has helped those companies grow their bottom line.
From 2012 to 2022, Mitch served on the board for DJ Think Tank and since 2014 has been involved with Midwest DJs Live, the industry’s only 501c3 not for profit DJ show for over a decade. In 2020, Mitch earned his DTM, the highest honor achieved in Toastmasters International, and in 2024 was inducted into the Mobile Entertainment Expo DJ Hall Of Fame. Mitch’s latest keynote is also the title of his latest book, Lyrics To Live Life By, where Mitch shares knowledge gleaned from the lyrics of popular and not so popular songs and how they can apply to life and business. Mitch is passionate about sharing what he has learned about sales, business and life with other entrepreneurs to help them grow personally and professionally. When Mitch isn’t producing or performing at an event, he can be found somewhere on a beach, sipping a Blanco tequila and lime juice and soaking life in.
