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!

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

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.

[@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.

[@juju-xx5xn]

Bravo!! Awesome segment!

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.

[@lisamann8521]

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 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
