Elad Gross, Neighbor

Out of the chaos of a hazy blizzard came a baby destined to become a boy destined to become a man. His name, Elad, would be unpronounceable to most, but such a trivial obstacle could not deter him. Up through the stages of life he went, from birthdays to bar mitzvah to high school to college to opinion piece writer. It's a myth that this man was a legend, but then again, do you really want to take that chance?

Elad is the Executive Director of the Education Exchange Corps, a nonprofit organization placing college students and volunteers as teaching assistants with the St. Louis Public Schools. He is known in various playground circles as Mr. E.

Elad graduated from Duke University with degrees in Economics and Political Science. He is also a proud Clayton High School Greyhound.
