Eli is a serious guy who I really enjoy conversing with. He cares deeply about many things, and has the great quality of listening carefully before offering a  rejoinder. 

He often has surprising angles to his thoughts and unusual insights.  When it comes to hot-button issues he cares enough to thoroughly research his opinions, and I can always count on him to deliver a carefully argued and discerning analysis. He obliges you to respect his thinking even if there is disagreement. 

Eli is a wonderful hybrid of decency and integrity.
