After six years serving as a principal, Eli transitioned to serving as a Professional Development Specialist with Curriculum Associates. It was serving in this role that Eli's love for supporting educators in a coaching and development role grew even more and led him into transitioning into all of the work he is doing today. Mr. Casaus has a passion for being an education innovator which led him to starting Mr Coach Eli, LLC to do this work full time. Through this, Eli consults and partners with organizations and educators to carry this work out. In addition to these partnerships, Eli is a Certified eGROWE Executive Coach & Facilitator with Engage2Learn. 

On a personal note, Eli spends a lot of time traveling and is a fitness and sports enthusiast. His interests outside of the gym, sports and travel include Disney, television binge watching, sleeping, trying new things, and spending as much time with his family and friends as possible.
