Dan Mitchell President & Chief Executive Officer	I was born in Okinawa, Japan the son of a sailor. After childhood, Bible College, Ministry, Marriage, and 3 kids, I founded The Bridge just after my 3rd daughter was born on September 8, 1999. Of all of the things I've experienced, I like my wife and kids best. Donna and I have been married now for 14 years and our kids are all girls: Madison (11), Emilee (8), and Claire (6). If I could do things over, I'd definitely include healthier eating for the 10 years preceding my 35th Birthday. God is real - you should put your faith in Him.
Lindsay Matush Marketing Director	I'm from St.Louis and moved to JoMo in January of '05. I graduated in 2004 with a marketing degree from Washington University in St. Louis. I love Jesus, caribbean blue, being outside, backpacking, biking, hiking, skiing/snowboarding, scuba diving, laughing, eating healthy, Colorado, art, potatoes, my best friend Natalie, The Bridge, my family, and playing Battledome (the game of rapid-fire action and lightning quick reflexes.) I hate shopping, rush hour traffic, and meatloaf.
Jeremiah Anderson Autumn Ramp Park & Bridge Manager	I was born and learned most of my bike riding skills in Minnesota. After getting married I moved to Iowa where my beautiful wife, Jenn, and I spent the first 5+ years together.. In that time God has blessed us with 3 boys, Ethan (4) and Micah (2), and Levi (5 months). After a decade of developing Chaos on Wheels and traveling throughout North America using my bicycle riding skills to share Jesus, God has called me to move to the land of incredible BMX, Joplin, MO. I love Jesus, my family, BMX and Star Wars (I am recovering from a mild addiction to Star Wars toys). I am also quite fond of crawfish, Dr Pepper, and riding mechanical bulls (I'm a recordholder, apparently no one has since stayed on a mechanical bull for 3 days, 2 hours, and 41 minutes). I'm also quite the Shuffle Board Master. If you'd ever like to challenge me, I'll rock your face off.
Donnie Holt The Foundry Music Venue Manager	Born in south central Kansas. Raised by a pack of wolves. I love Mexican food. I manage The Bridge Facilities and The Foundry Music Theater. I love fajitas. I have been with The Bridge since January of 2006. I enjoy tacos but not as much as burritos. I love Jesus. My favorite condiments are guacamole and salsa. I am married and I have two beautiful girls . They also love Mexican food (except my wife not so much). I am a Metal-head, although I do enjoy a vast array of other styles of music, especially bluegrass. I love carne asada and fresh corn tortillas. My hobbies are pretty much the same as my job, I love music and watching live shows, I also like to work. I make my own tamales, and they are better than any you will find around these parts. Did I mention that I like tamales. I am not as big of a nerd as some of my co-workers (the ones who collect Star Wars dolls, oh right, action figures). My favorite movie(s) are the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Nerdy I admit, but you won’t see any Gandalf dolls (action figures) on my shelves. I enjoy a good Chimichanga especially with cheese drizzled over the top. STRYPER still rules! Tacos de lengua aren’t bad either.
Christina Bridge Creative Director	Without design, there is chaos—that’s where I come in. I am the creative director for The Bridge's new venture - Bridge Creative which offers design and marketing services to other businesses and non-profit organizations. I never expected to have the chance to use my graphics skills to this extent and for such an important purpose. It just goes to show you, Gods plans often override your own. I am 29, I have an 9 year old son named Ethan, a big husband named Eli, and two dogs. I love challenges, Reece’s Pieces, good design, laughing until your stomach hurts, nonconformity, and the little discoveries in life that surprise you. My office is the coolest, so come by and visit me!
Mat Anderson Bridge Media, Inc.
Matt Johnson Corporate Rentals	I was raised in St. Louis, Springfield, and Webb City. I graduated from Webb City High School in 2006, and I'm now a sophomore at Missouri Southern State University. I love music, rock climbing, and Jesus Christ. My favorite food is baby back ribs. I love my church (Christ’s Church of Oronogo), and if you ask nicely I might take you with me some Sunday!
