Mitch Carr Personal

I am originally from Richmond, Va., and I attended the University of Miami on an academic scholarship. I finished at Miami with a double major in Broadcast Journalism and Spanish, and I can speak my second language with confidence.

I played football and basketball in high school, and I am most knowledgeable about those two sports, but I enjoy pretty much any athletic competition.
