A Little About Mitch
I’ve spent more than four decades working with audio and video — not just as technology, but as a way to preserve stories, voices, and moments that matter.
In 2007, I began recording family interviews — starting with my own father — simply to preserve our family’s history. After his later Alzheimer’s diagnosis, I realized just how meaningful those recordings had become.
They weren’t just memories– they were a living record of who he was, where our family came from, and stories that otherwise would have been lost.
That experience shaped the work I do today.
Through Plessner Digital, I help families preserve their histories through Legacy Videos — personal, documentary-style recordings created in the comfort of home, using photographs, conversation, and storytelling to capture a life as it was lived.
My professional career began in the early 1980s in Los Angeles, working as an audio engineer and producer with Dick Clark Productions. Over the years, I edited and produced radio shows, audiobooks, and broadcast projects, eventually working with companies like Dove Audio, Random House Audio, and NewStar Media. Along the way, I was honored to be represented for a Grammy Award for my engineering work on The Children’s Shakespeare.
As technology evolved from tape to digital, my focus evolved too.
Whether I’m digitizing old media or sitting down with someone to record their story, my approach is always the same: patient, respectful, and focused on creating something that will still matter years from now.
Thank you for visiting. I’d be honored to help you keep the past alive — and preserve the memories that matter most.
