QUOTES

Elijah: "If you go in there and you approach it with, again, the right mindset, if you go in there treating it like I'm going to do this job to the best of my ability and leave an impression, it will create longevity in that field."

Elijah: "As protectors, we've got this kind of an innate quality where we want to have our hands on things. We think we know the solution to a problem, but sometimes the solution to a problem is letting someone else solve it."
