Elijah Valencia

There's not a predicament this guy can't find his way out of. Born in Maui with the sun above him and the sand beneath his feet, then off to Tahoe, CA where his feet preferred skate shoes or a snowboard. They call him Mr. Ninja-Foot because he sails through the air and lands with the grace of a silent Ninja.

Elijah now resides in Crested Butte, CO where he owns and operates his own sustainability minded contracting and construction company. Greening, remodeling, and creating healthy homes is what he prides himself on. He's always been an entrepreneur. His drive started at a young age so he could work hard in the summers and spend winters snowboarding. Doing maintenance, Flooring, and carpet cleaning kept him busy in the summers and gave him just enough free time in the winters to spend his time doing what he loved most: flying, perfecting jumps, and landing them gracefully enough to make his way into snowboarding magazines.

Elijah is a doer and a visionary. His creativity and hard work built him two treehouses (all from reclaimed materials) at 11,000 feet and years later landed him as the first lot owner in the now famous Finca Bellavista: a sustainable treehouse community in Costa Rica. His love of building, creating, sustaining, envisioning, and the motto of "work hard play hard and always land like a ninja" is a great way to sum him up.
