Elijah Elliott has worked in the cannabis industry for over 15 years, starting out as a grower in Oregon under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program when he was 18 years old. From that point, Elijah fell in love with how the marijuana plant could help people, and his path was before him.

He moved into retail, managed several dispensaries for Breeze Botanicals - was voted Rogue Valley Bud Tender of the Year - and transitioned into developing sales teams and running operations for companies like, Sun God Medicinals and A Better Cannabis Cooperative. During this time, he deepened his abilities with everything from inventory and logistics to procurement and fulfillment.

Currently, Elijah is the VP of Operations at Jaxon Wellness, a national hemp brand focused on connecting farmers with the market they deserve. After suffering a life-changing vehicle accident, he is grateful to be a self proclaimed Hemp Ninja - for his love of martial arts.

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.

Colin has lived a life of foundational change. Currently, he is the owner/founder of a resilient technology application called Upling, and he is also a social-impact entrepreneur who turned personal adversity into industry innovation. After surviving multiple gunshot wounds and wrongful cannabis-related incarceration, he rebuilt his path through prison ministry, community advocacy, and entrepreneurship — going on to become a recognized business leader and a Top 40 Under 40 honoree.

He founded Upling to expand safe, compliant access to cannabis and alternative wellness through technology, AI, and patient-protected delivery systems, with a strong commitment to second-chance hiring and inclusive economic development. His work sits at the intersection of cannabis, data, and social equity — building infrastructure that improves access while creating opportunity for underserved communities.

You are a light in the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

Known by your name, you recognize His voice and hear Him calling you from the gate that no one else has authority to open. He knows you by your name.
