About Mitchell
Mitchell Walzer | General Contractor
It started with a loose plant hook. Growing up in Miami, Mitchell watched his mom solve the problem with a wooden match — stick it in the hole, and the screw grips tight. That small trick sparked something that never went away.
He went on to earn a Bachelor of Building Construction from the University of Florida, spending his summers in the field rather than behind a desk — because he’s always believed that’s where the real education happens. He later deepened that foundation studying energy-efficient building design and teaching green building as adjunct faculty at Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona — bringing the same hands-on curiosity to the classroom that he brings to every job site.
Thirty-plus years later, that curiosity is still the engine. Mitchell believes a home is the most important space we inhabit — a place of comfort and refuge. After moving to Eugene, he put that belief into action by constructing Conestoga Hut shelters with Community Supported Shelters for three years — and continues to serve at the EGAN Warming Center. Today he runs a small contracting business dedicated to making homes more comfortable, efficient, safe, and beautiful — one project at a time.
When he’s not on a job, you’ll find Mitchell dancing, cooking, kayaking, or finding new ways to contribute to the community he calls home.
