  1. Mitch is doing well. He lives in Austin, Tx with his wife Valentina and their 2 children. They own the Lagree studios here in town. He also does financial advising and business real estate. He competed in the American Ninja Warrior competition in Oklahoma City back in 2016.

    I did not know him back then but I can tell you he is a super nice, mellow guy now.
