Kama'aina
Elijah was raised in Hawaii. His brother, Caleb Pierick, works at UH Manoa. His mother, Sheri Pierick, is a retired teacher of 24 years; and his father, Anthony Pierick, is a Master Chief-Master Diver in Pearl Harbor.
Elijah's eldest brother (Chaz Pierick, along with his small business) and their younger sister (Crystal Thourson, her husband, and their little kids) have moved off the island because it is too expensive here.
