The joseph Groh foundation | grant recipient | Elijah Walter

Throughout his life, Elijah has been hard at work during his countless projects as a contractor. He got his start in the construction trades by working for a builder in Oklahoma in the early 80s, building apartment complexes and nursing homes. Then, he ran and operated a home repair business for more than 20 years. He built detached garages, room additions, roofing, decks, and did some plumbing work. In the beginning, he had employees as needed. He continued to run his business, which he called The House Doctor.
