Mike was raised by his mother Carlene and father Rodney Mitchum who served in the US Air Force as a Master Sergeant. Mike lived in Berlin, Germany from 1974-1978, just 1/4 of a mile from the Berlin Wall. During his time in Berlin, he was involved in baseball, basketball, and football. After completing his education, Mike then served in the Navy starting in 1981 until 1985 and spent time on the USS Richmond K. Turner (CG-20).

Mike subbed for Whitehall City Schools for 2 years and was hired as a custodian in 2003. Mike enjoyed making the staff smile and always made sure others were taken care of, especially the students that he took under his wing. He worked for Whitehall City Schools for 20 years and he was proud to be a Whitehall Ram.
