Born on August 23rd, 1991, in Washington Pennsylvania, Mitchell grew up without a father, with a working class mother who had to be the "do it all mom." Mitchell's upbringing wasn't the most stable, one could say, as he never lived in one place for very long. He learned how to cope with "life on the road." When Mitchell was six he, and his mom had already moved eight times; it was then that he developed a passion for acting. Having moved so often, he was never able to make friends very easily, and had to resort to watching movies for entertainment, but luckily drew acting inspiration from these. His mother was unsure of how to go about starting him into the acting industry, so it wasn't talked about much. Finally, when Mitchell entered his junior year in high school, he attended Chartiers-Houston High School in Houston, Pennsylvania, where met his English teacher, Kim Carnahan, (whom he refers to as "Mom"), who taught him everything about Shakespeare and his many plays and use of language. Macbeth was Mitchell's favorite, so for a class project, he performed a sword fighting skit with his buddy. During this skit, he rekindled his passion for the arts. After high school, he began working full time to help his mother with the bills. Always devoting his time to his work rather than his acting, he seemed to be falling further away from his dreams, until one day he was noticed by a modeling and talent agency that took him in, where he was able to train with his current instructor Gwendolyn Kiste. In 2013, Mitchell was cast as the lead character in the Halloween horror film The Barn (2015) directed by Justin Seaman, who has become a very close friend to Mitchell.
