About Me

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Eli! At the time of creating this website, I’m a sixteen-year-old from the suburban Midwest. I spend family dinners cracking jokes with my five siblings, mom and dad, and grandparents, and weekends reading books, watching UVA basketball, and homework-ing with my family. Before I could even walk, my mom took me to retirement homes, where I’d play cards and listen to stories about life before cell phones and the internet. On family vacations, I’ve always found myself sitting on the couch for hours, talking to my grandparents and their cousins about lessons from the past. I love all things public policy, Ancient Rome, and philosophy. I even play a little soccer!
