Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar grew out of a vision for a local establishmentthat would appeal to families of all ages. A place where friends and family canenjoy fresh, delicious meals and creative cocktails in an environment thatexudes relaxation. Shuckin’ Shack offers its guests a “lifestyleexperience” in addition to exceptional seafood. The brand started as a 900-square-footshack in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, in 2007 and began franchising in 2014.Today, Shuckin’ Shack has grown to 15 locations across four states, and soon tobe five, with several more locations slated to open by the end of 2019.

Michael and Sulyndia Mitchell, owners of Cumming’s Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar, a Carolina Beach-based seafood restaurant, who found that temporarily closing his restaurant for two months was the smartest move he could have made amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

With St. Patrick’s Day weekend normally his busiest weekend, Mitchell found himself down in sales 50% and unable to regulate his seafood restaurant’s supply and demand like usual. Dining room closures limited his menu by eliminating menu options due to how they transported through takeout and Mitchell wasn’t willing to give up his promise of fresh and quality seafood. Therefore, Mitchell made one of the hardest decisions he’s made in his 40+years in the restaurant industry, he closed down his restaurant until he could provide the best quality food and experience possible.

My voice is God-given. Finally, I’m using it with all my heart & soul. Before I made a full commitment to signing I attended the U of A and received a BS in interior design. I sold furniture, art & most all things for the home from 1992-2012. My voice never left me alone nor the calling to use it! I’ve been performing & singing solely since 2017. Before COVID hit I did over 5 years at Sullivan’s Steakhouse on various nights, 62 concerts at the Viscount Suite Hotel, 16 concerts at the Sheraton Tucson Hotel, numerous performances at Caffe Torino in the Foothills & a handful of retirement homes around town, private events & various other performance along the way. Currently, Westward Look is hosting monthly concerts where I perform. Music = Life to me. I fully believe it’s an ultimate healer! I finally allowing my authentic self. I ask to be used to help make this world a little better place in the little ways I can and help others along the way.

As a Senior Loan Officer, I originate residential home loans (1-4 Units) for purchase or refinance transactions for owner-occupied, second homes or investment properties. I am licensed in the State of Arizona; however, I can connect you to great mortgage loan officers anywhere in the United States or Canada. I have been a loan officer for just over 20 years. In the prior 17 years, I was a Realtor, an Associate Broker, Branch Manager, and Designated Broker. My beloved husband Scott and I have been married for over 37 years, we have an awesome daughter Allison who is engaged to her Gonzaga University sweetheart, Enrique. I love to read, travel, hike, golf, camp, entrepreneurial ideas, inventions, animals and children. My key to success is to focus on excellence, not perfection and being growth-minded.
