He is described as tall and lanky, with unkempt hair and Clark Kent-style glasses. He has blondish hair with brown eyes, and a bump on the end of his nose which Aster thinks is cute. His style is casual, and he wears vans and no tie to work - something no one else at Saybrook's does.

Personality
Mitch is intelligent, kind, sweet, and earnest. He is willing to lend a hand to Aster even though he doesn't know her beyond their limited interactions, and even explains Excel to her. He is witty but also honest, as seen when he tells Mason that an idea was really Aster's and not Elizabeth's - despite knowing that this would upset Elizabeth. He is often the go-to guy for technology-related issues, showing that he has a vast skill and intellect for technology. He cares deeply for those he shares a connection with and was even willing to help his girlfriends family despite never meeting them before.
