Hillsdale, Michigan, United States
As an expert in the professional written use of standard American English, I have been writing articles and editing both books and articles for several years. I love writing! It is deeply satisfying to create an article that communicates a point well, especially one that promotes freedom or encourages people to think. I also find editing fulfilling — helping people communicate more clearly makes the world a better place. In the summer of 2022 I deployed for the first time, as a private military contractor with The Mozart Group. Training Ukrainian Soldiers to more effectively fight for their freedom easily ranks among the most fulfilling things I have done with my life. While my service in SOF and conventional Infantry units of the US Army laid a strong foundation for my military knowledge, I have continued my professional development in the years since then — I know and understand far more than I did when I received my honorable discharge. I am seeking additional opportunities to deploy to dangerous places, using my knowledge of small-unit tactics to promote freedom and make the world a better place.

When Elijah amicably left The Tactical Network, he focused his work on a small military training company that prefers to maintain discretion regarding its employees and affiliations for security purposes. Most of his work with them is in operations, ensuring things run smoothly and looking for ways to optimize performance. Elijah's familiarity with the defense industry is frequently involved in accomplishing this mission. This company also connected Elijah with an organization called The Mozart Group, which is making a difference in Ukraine's fight for freedom. TMG is composed of SOF professionals and other qualified Veterans from around the world. With TMG, Elijah deployed to Ukraine; he served as a primary and assistant instructor in small unit tactics and as an assistant instructor in battlefield medicine. Elijah and his colleagues trained Ukrainian troops near Kyiv, as well as east of Pokrovsk within range of Russian artillery. They also took humanitarian aid to Maryinka more than once, an area of dire need within direct fire range of the enemy.
