Chapters

Mitch hails from Southern California and spent more than 10 years in the San Francisco Bay area before relocating to San Diego in 2015. As an activist, he strives to raise awareness of how our everyday choices affect the ocean and planet, and advocates for sensible environmental policy at a local level. His ultimate goal is to see good environmental stewardship become mainstream, even “cool.” Mitch served in various volunteer leadership positions before being hired on as Chapter Manager in 2018. In 2022, Mitch transitioned to the chapter’s policy role. He aims to serve as a voice for San Diego’s coast at local, regional and state government levels.

When not fighting the good fight, Mitch likes to surf, paddle, roller skate and hang out with his nieces. He’s also a big sci-fi nerd, but don’t tell anyone.
