About The Author

Mitchell is a San Francisco native growing up during the summer of love and the end of the Vietnam War. His father, George, was a World War II army veteran in the South Pacific. George had many jobs throughout his life and truly was a salesman. Mitchell’s mother Thelma, was a nurse and had the main role of guiding him into the medical profession at age 17.

While working in respiratory medicine in Walnut Creek Ca, a chance meeting with his future wife Durell changed the course of his life. Most of the short story prose in Breathe for Me, are from true life experiences.

Growing up in a home living in the storm of PTSD, Mithell’s father saw him as the good son, and his brother Paul, the bad son. His two sisters were simple bystanders, living with their own dark secrets.

1976 marked the beginning of a lifelong journey with Durell. The most beautiful joy he and his wife shared came to them in the form of their grandson, Jeremy. Mitchell’s middle daughter was a meth addict, unable to take care of her son.

Regarded as the highest privilege of his life, Mitchell became a father to Jeremy. Life has given many blessings to his daughters, Rue & Robin, who have been sober for 8 years and 28 years, respectively. Mitchell lives with his wife Durell in their 1868 Civil War era home, built by the Union Army, in Benicia, CA
