Outside of work, you can find Eli in a few places. Outdoors with his wife, son and daughter: hiking with his and Cairn Terrier, running, and especially relaxing at the beach. In the kitchen cooking up a storm: soups, stews and curries are his specialty. On the couch binging on Netflix (because who doesn’t do that?).
