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.
