Elad Ziv was born in the beautiful port city of Haifa, Israel. His family later relocated to the exotic, frozen tundra of Buffalo, NY before Elad decided to head for the beautiful California weather by his lonesome. All so he could sit in his home and write for the rest of his life.

Elad was a Division I scholar athlete at Temple University where he graduated with a marketing degree. After college, Elad went on to explore the end of his adolescence by living as a model in New York City and Miami. It was after this exploration that he made the move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in writing. Since being in LA, Elad has received recognition for his writing by most recently winning the 2021 Script Pipeline First Look Project. He has also placed as a finalist in the Sundance Episodic Lab, finalist in the Screencraft Drama competition and a finalist in the Your Script Produced competition. Elad also wrote and directed a short film based off one of his scripts which was accepted into That Film Festival at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.

Aside from writing, Elad has carved out a career in hospitality where he opened nightclubs in Miami (dek23) and New York (Catch). He also enjoys teaching tennis and going on hikes with his fiancé, Roxanna, and their (dog) daughter, Shai.
