Could you walk me through your career path? Please start with your experiences in college. Also, include any internships or jobs you had before your current role.
I actually went to a SU to play football, and that was kind of the whole goal. I ended up in my sophomore year, my junior year, I stopped playing.
Pretty much got back into camera stuff and social media. I did work for a marketing agency for a few months to kind of understand the roles and what it's like.
I also worked in a kids' camp before I started my company. My first one was Fleets Lake. That's the Mitchell Digital Marketing Agency that I still run today.
