About Elijah

Smiling is what keeps my day going. Growing up in Lansing Michigan, I moved to the USA at the age of 8 with my family as a refugee from Ivory Coast west Africa. During my time in Lansing, I was approached by the head wrestling coach at my middle school and fell in-love with the sport. I wrestled throughout high school and attended Iowa lake college to continue my wrestling career where I was fortunate enough to be a national qualifier my first year. Being a wrestler kept me self-disciplined and I use that self-discipline mindset to keep my focus. I worked for some of the top-class organizations such as sleep number, and the Mayo Clinic's where I learned great customer service skills. I enjoy being a helper to the community and the people. I am currently living in Rochester MN with my wife and three kids. I enjoy watching sports with friends and family.
