About Me:

My name is Ed Troxell and I started MIX IT UP magazine. I have been working on this since June of last year. I realize there is a lot of magazines out there and everything is moving to the web. I feel that young adults need something new and that we will always have a need for a print magazine. My goal, to deliver a comprehensive magazine that will have a little something for everyone. Young, old, male, and female. Its time we have a real magazine.
