His journey began at Silver State Wrestling Academy, where the passion ignited under the guidance of coaches Joshua Nolan and Joey Ghione. In those early years, wrestling was about camaraderie and fun, but it soon evolved into a pursuit demanding grit and determination.
 
After three impactful years at Silver State Wrestling Academy, Elliot made a pivotal transition to Nevada Elite, a family-oriented program that embraced him and encouraged his growth. Here, he continued to cultivate the essential qualities of a champion—dedication, discipline, and integrity—while honing his skills on the mat.

Wrestling isn’t just a test of physical toughness; it builds mental resilience too. This unique blend equips Elliot to thrive academically and excel in any endeavor he undertakes. Beyond the mat, his adventurous spirit drives him to explore various sports, from football and soccer to baseball and swimming, even dabbling in hunting and mutton busting.
 
Family and friends provide Elliot with the unwavering support that recharges him as he prepares for his next challenge. As he continues to evolve both as an athlete and an individual, the future shines brightly for this aspiring champion. With each passing day, we can’t wait to see what new heights Elliot will achieve!
