Founder and CEO of Saber VR, Elijah Roach was born and raised in Freehold Boro NJ. He's always been a gamer since his parents, Jeannette and Benjamin bought him a Nintendo for his 6th birthday. When Elijah was young, TimeOut, the local arcade in the Freehold Raceway mall was the place friends met after school to socialize and have fun!

Since then he has dreamed of one day revitalizing the industry.
