John-Paul Mitchell is the President and Owner of J&E SoCal Supply, a certified SDVOSB and DVBE business that is focused in the sales of construction material and equipment. He joined the Navy in 2001 as a Seabee and deployed on three separate occasions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5. His tours of duty took him to Spain, Kuwait, San Clemente Island, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan. 

After his enlistment ended in 2006, John-Paul took full advantage of the military’s GI Bill benefit by going back to school and earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from California State University Northridge. He then moved to San Diego to take a position with a prestigious, nationwide general contractor with the opportunity to work on the largest land port of entry border crossing project, a waterfront hotel and a 320 bed hospital. 

As the owner of J&E SoCal Supply, John-Paul’s goal is to make the DVBE and SDVOSB participation process as simple as possible for his clients through open communication and superior customer service.
