Episode Synopsis

Wesley Mitchell graduated with Web Development Cohort 55.

Prior to beginning my journey as a software developer, I performed professionally as a touring and session musician. I grew up in Rapid City, South Dakota and had many hobbies including skateboarding, playing baseball, and lots of drumming.

I studied Music Business in Chadron, Nebraska and moved to Nashville to chase my dreams as a musician after graduating. After many years of hard work and performing, I landed a spot with a local band Bully opening the doors of touring internationally and playing shows I dreamed about including performing at the Ryman.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, it proposed a way to look at my career differently and gave me free time to pursue software development. Software development gives me the opportunity to work in a field with continuous growth and education while still being a creative outlet for me.
