CJ, a proud Native American Indian, began his journey as a professional photographer, capturing the world through his lens. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to invest all his resources in a promising R&D company, which later became a game-changer. In 2003, he sold the company to ExxonMobil, achieving an impressive 100x return on his investment.

Since then, CJ has established himself as a seasoned real estate investor with a substantial presence in both Canada and the United States. He currently manages 6,722 doors across the U.S., applying his strategic insight and experience to build a thriving real estate portfolio.

Beyond his business success, CJ is deeply committed to making a difference. He is the founder and manager of a non-profit organization dedicated to helping young women who have been victims of sex trafficking, providing them with the resources and support to rebuild their lives.

Craig does an amazing job at bringing together unique high-caliber people. From investors to celebrities, his events put you in the room with the right people. I’ve built amazing connections with investors, business partners, and more from Evoke’s events

Shivaji Y.

“Elevate didn’t just help us grow—they believed in us, backed us, and turned our global vision into reality."

Before Elevate:

Stuck knocking on closed doors, struggling to scale across borders.

Funded in 90 days. High-quality global leads. A bold international presence and a high seven-figure business.

The Ambassador Program is helping me get invited into the right rooms—spaces where real conversations are happening and real connections are being made. It’s already led to relationships and collaborative opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise.
