Aaron Mitchell
Aaron Mitchell is a basketball junkie through and through.

After graduating from Brandon University in 2004, Aaron has been a high school teacher and basketball coach giving back to the game he loves.
Outside of coaching and teaching, Aaron enjoys spending time with family, friends and connecting with new people. A self-admitted extrovert the idea of hosting a podcast became a reality in 2020 when A Hoops Journey came to fruition.
Broadcasting on TV or radio has always been something Aaron dreamed of, so getting to do the podcast allows him to explore this skill set and push his boundaries.
As much as Aaron enjoys interviewing and connecting with the guests, he takes pride in learning from them and the stories they share.
