“The name EleVen represents how I strive to live every day -- that is, without limits. In our world, ‘10’ is just another number, but EleVen is a lifestyle — it’s about challenging your status quo, embracing positive change, and pushing beyond whatever is holding you back from living your ideal life. We all have stories about reaching seemingly impossible goals, especially in the face of fear and doubt. Being an EleVen is about making those stories the rule, rather than the exception. Ask yourself: ‘what else is out there for me?’ Not sure? Good. Get up and go find out. We’ve got your back.”
