“Movement is a pathway to confidence, connection, and personal growth.”

Elliott brings a vibrant mix of experience in education, wellness, and global engagement to SAEL’s Crew. With both a B.A. and M.A. from UC Santa Barbara and a Fulbright year in Berlin, he’s explored how learning thrives across cultures, communities, and disciplines.

His professional journey includes three years with TRX Training’s corporate team, where he became a certified TRX Coach and functional training specialist. Elliott also holds an E-RYT 200 Yoga Teacher designation and an Indoor Cycling Coach certification, reflecting his commitment to movement as a tool for resilience and self-discovery.

At SAEL, Elliott is excited to lead a PE program that’s inclusive, empowering, and expeditionary in spirit. Whether guiding students through team challenges, nature-based movement, or mindfulness practices, they aim to create spaces where every student can grow in confidence and connection.

Outside the classroom, Elliott enjoys engaging in outdoor adventures (hiking & Nordic skiing), yoga, swimming, reading, connecting with friends and family, and keeping up on his German language skills (Übung macht den Meistern).  A Northern California native, and a graduate of Nevada Union High School, Elliott is thrilled to return to Nevada County and is excited to join the team at SAEL.
