I'm Eliejah A. Markham.
And if you're looking for another financial professional who quotes numbers without context, I'm not your guy.
My journey didn't start in finance. It started with silence. I was quiet. Antisocial. Watching. Learning. But life had different plans. In that solitude, I found clarity.
It was then that I began to see what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of: two laws of the land - one created by a higher authority and one by man. This revelation became the foundation of what I now call the Bamboo Doctrine, a lens I use to help others navigate their path to true financial freedom.
Life pushed me door to door, where I discovered two things:
The value of time - and the power of a single conversation. I learned how to speak, how to connect, and how to turn one hour into what others made in two weeks.
Then came the stories - real people, real lives. A woman in Cherry Hill, NJ, crying because her roof cost what her house once did. That's when I first understood equity. Value. Wealth that grows without asking permission.
I moved into mortgages, refining strategy. I helped families reduce debt, lower interest, and shave years off their payment - without bringing a dollar to the table.
Then came retirement planning. Life insurance. Annuities. I've helped someone grow $28,000 to $456,000. I've helped a six-year-old build a six-figure future before ever filling out a job application.
But none of that compares to what came during the pandemic.
That's when I watched the systems I worked under fail the people I wanted to protect. When companies refused to help, I tried to save the world on my own - and failed. But that failure led me to tools, communities, and mentors that changed everything. And now? I build with people, not for them.
I don't sell products. I equip people with strategies - tools the wealthy have used for generations, spoken in a language the rest of us can finally understand.
The Bamboo Doctrine isn't only about financial empowerment. It's about Alignment. Protection. Stewardship. Clarity.
And I'm here to make sure you have all four.
