Eli West serves as a training coordinator in PLF’s HR department, where he designs and facilitates trainings that equip staff to advance the fight for liberty. Additionally, as a certified executive coach, Eli partners with colleagues to empower their unique professional development journeys. His passions for transformative learning, authentic connection, and seamless logistics have shaped his work at PLF since he joined in 2023.
Prior to PLF, Eli graduated from Hillsdale College with a bachelor’s degree in history. For over five years, he wrote humanities curricula and taught at private, classical schools. He also completed a master’s degree in teaching from Eastern University’s Templeton Honors College, where his studies focused on pedagogy and religious freedom in education. The combined experiences deepened his commitment to defending the freedoms eloquently articulated by America’s Founding Fathers. In all his work, he aspires to help cultivate a new generation of liberty lovers.
Although he has lived in almost every U.S. time zone, Eli hails from “West Ranch,” a cattle ranch nestled in the Sandhills region of north-central Nebraska. At PLF, he is proud to serve alongside the fiercest property rights defenders in the country. This work pays homage to many cowboys—like his late grandfather—who spend their whole lives warring off pernicious government policies.
In his free time, you’ll likely find Eli nose-deep in some highbrow piece of classic literature, dusting off the sand from his latest volleyball match, or brewing his next batch of homemade kombucha.
