Elijah Estrada

Past President

I am: 34

I’m a young professional at: Kingmen Construction

I get involved in my community through the following organization(s): The Pick Group of Young Professionals, The Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce

I am a happy resident in the City of: Riverside

My career goals are to: Oversee all construction operations for Kingmen and serve on local non-profit boards to better Riverside

My Professional Motto: You are only as good as your word.

My advice to other Young Pros is: Never stop learning and always push through times of uncomfortable growth.

When I’m not working or volunteering, you can find me: Spending time with my family, watching football (Go Chargers), or learning BJJ

I joined PICK because: I wanted a peer group who would challenge me to become more involved in my community and who would also support my professional development.

PICK is awesome because: It creates lasting friendships and personal growth

I maximize my PICK membership by: Attending events from different committees, graduating from the Board Development Training Program, and getting to know new members

The issues in Riverside that I care about most are: Quality of life in Riverside, specifically safety and housing are important as I raise my kids
