📍 Natchitoches, LA Musician, educator, disc golfer, gardener, home brewer (beer, wine, cider, mead), cook, DIYer. I am in the middle of a beard-speriment. I'm doing the yeard (one year beard). Happy to talk facial hair to fellow beardos and beard admirers. Newly minted PhD. Still has that new doctorate smell. I'm a professor of music education. I research creativity, educational equity, and lifelong music making. Ask me about it! Also, call me Mitch, not Mitchell. MoT ✡
