I actually went to high school with Mitchell. He was always a class act and extremely elegant on the day to day. Glad to see him getting recognition on a larger scale!

[@Inthedell5015]

Mitch is a great subject for your story! My son went to Watch school with him, and he is an absolute pleasure! A genuinely good guy.

[@debbiecooper1677]

him and steve hartman have one of the best jobs in the world to me.

[@FarsonArson]

What a nice gentleman.

[@janicegreenberg6680]

What a craft and such a down-to-earth lovely young man - plus a bit of Omi the cook.

[@CHSPoetrySlamRyanEisele]

He was this way as a sophomore in high school in my class; intelligent, curious, genuine, kind, and very likable. Great work Mitch, miss you!

[@user-qz3jk9en4d]

So articulate and great presence!!

[@MatthewRodrigues]

Love that you're promoting RI! So fun. Pro tip: That live show at the beginning is not Providence. It is Newport.

What about Mitch's mom?? No mention of her and her mobility issues and her son's wonderful care of his mom.

[@ladeedimplez]

Right I wanted to hear about her too

[@kimking5928]

Right. She was the one who gave him his first watch which inspired his craft.

[@juju-xx5xn]

Wonderful story. Providence is a wonderful city in a wonderful--and oft overlooked state. Thanks for sharing.

[@Usernotfound31231]

Providence is like Boston’s cooler/hotter cousin. But don’t come visit. We walk like New Yorkers and will not hesitate to plow past you 😂

[@SiempreLibre14]

Go OMi 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
