About Mitch

You can see Mitch anchoring NBC 26 weekends.  This is Mitch's second tour of duty at NBC 26.  Mitch worked at NBC 26 in 2001, but if you blinked you missed him.  Mitch is excited to be back in Green Bay and plans to stay longer this time around. 

The last four years Mitch anchored weekends in Madison at WKOW.  During his time there Mitch biked and in four Wisconsin AIDS Rides. He ended up raising more than $12,000 for services to help people living with the disease.  Each year, Mitch reported along the ride telling the stories of the people who commit their lives to the cause.  Mitch also had a regular route delivering Meals On Wheels and became a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters.  His volunteering didn't end there.  During his time spent at the Dane County Humane Society he ended up adopting a dog named Jonesie.

Mitch is originally from Kansas, but believes he has lived in more cities in Wisconsin than people who grew up in the state.  In 1998, he interned in Milwaukee, in 2000 he moved to Rhinelander, then to Green Bay, followed by a stint in Wausau at WAOW which took him to Madison in 2003.

Mitch is ready to get involved in the Green Bay community by volunteering and bringing you the news that affects you.  If there is an issue or a story you would like Mitch to look into email him at mweber@nbc26.com
