My name is Geoff Mitchell, welcome to my **README** file, where I ~~poorly use~~ learn how to use markdown language.

Currently I live in New Jersey with my wife, Ann, and our 11 year old daughter, Leah. Ann grew up in Bergen County NJ, while I'm from Massachusetts originally. I'm a veteran of the US Marine Corps, and served from 2005 - 2011. My duty station was in Hawaii and I can confirm life is beautiful out there! I also spent time in Okinawa, South Korea and two trips to the desert of Afghanistan. Below I have listed a few other "hats" I've worn over the years.

- Backstage crew for Broadway productions
- Bartender [*Check out my old bar!*](https://sm23morristown.com)
- Professional Recruiter

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Print Journalism from William Paterson University. When the pandemic hit I had a similar thought to many other people in the class it seems; find a solid skillset that can be worked remotely. I've always had an interest in coding, and used to write webpages in HTML when I was in highschool.

Soome of my personal interests include -

- Movies - Cooking - The Boston Red Sox & New England Patriots - Hiking - Overly complicated games that feel more like a job than entertainment

I will now attempt to create a definition list in markdown, my first example is this strange term for what you call a group of ferrets. business : (n) a group of ferrets *To Do List

--- Here are some inspiring words to live by from Mookie Wilson, former Center Fielder for the Mets. >When I'm in a slump, I comfort myself by saying if I believe in dinosaurs, then somewhere, they must be believing in me. And if they believe in me, then I can believe in me. Then I bust out. --- ## Table Time Here we can see that the lovely Boston Red Sox hold first place in the AL East, with a 3.5 game lead over the Yankees. While I am not a professional baseball analyst, I predict that Boston will crush their opposition for the rest of the year. Every time the Yankees lose a game, an angel gets their wings. *(This is an old fairytale told to children in Massachusetts.)* ***As of 5/10/2021*** | Team | W-L | GB | | --- | ---: | --- | | Red Sox | 22-13 | - | | Yankees | 18-16| 3.5 | | Rays | 19-17 | 3.5 | | Blue Jays | 17-16 | 4.0 | | Orioles | 15-19 | 6.5 | --- That's all for now, thanks for reading.
