Welcome, Honored Child Elias

13 year old Elias loves swimming, playing Minecraft & Animal Crossing. This go-getter is a self described "one armed gamer with my own youtube channel." He's a bone cancer survivor, an early riser, and his favorite saying is "The early bird gets the worm." We have no doubt that his ambitions for being a "robotic restaurant owner" will come to pass. Elias looks up to his mom, because "she’s been through so much and still happy."

Elias lives with his mom, dad, big brother Lazarus and two dogs, solo and Axel. His favorite books are the Wild Robot series, because it has sci-fi, nature, and a great family story. If he was stranded on an island and could take one thing, it would be "A fully charged phone because that would be the smartest way to get saved." Spoken like a pragmatist and a true pre-teen!
