Mitchell Louis Scott has always been surrounded by nature’s beauty. Growing up in Louisa County, Virginia, surrounded by God’s bountiful beauty, became the inspiration for Scott’s company, Mitchell Louis Apparel. Though the Mitchell Louis brand is one of Scott’s proudest accomplishments, it cannot be compared to the love and admiration he has for his wife Chan and their two children Mitchell II and Noah.

By old, I am referring to raising my children in a home where both parents are not only present but respect and love one another. I am also referring to raising my children to be gentlemen whereby understanding the importance of respect, honesty, chivalry, and being a good person. … After work, I try to put all adult issues to the side and devote my full attention to my children.
