Erez Ella

About Erez

• Grew up in Israel and spent five years in the army after he finished high school.
• After finishing his time in the military, he traveled around South America for a year.
• When he came back, he knew he'd have to enroll in college; picked architecture solely because the course started last, letting him travel more.
• Says he second-guesses himself everyday: "should I stay here [in America] or should I go back home?"
• What keeps him in the U.S. is his great love for his job.
• Says his job is fun because he gets to "make statements" with his buildings.
• If he can accomplish 30% of all of the goals and dreams he has in his head, he'll consider himself successful.
• Says if you have a passion, you might have to be okay with "not having the new iPhone," not being financially set, but you'll be happy.
