Moses has a diverse educational background as he attended school in Utah, Wyoming, and Ontario, Canada before making his home in Portland in 1989 to start working at the Lake Oswego Review newspaper. This experience motivated him to start his own publication and from 1990 to 1995, he was an independent publisher of a 50,000-circulation quarterly magazine for the local licensed holistic healthcare community.

 

In 2002, following the passion that had been stoked in him by his father, Moses started to get involved in his community, first through volunteerism (which he still actively does) and then by starting a company doing political consulting for Democratic candidates and causes (which is in its twentieth year of business). In 2004, his daughter Emma was born and in 2007, he became a full-time single father to her and moved into the Multnomah neighborhood of Portland, where he still lives.

 

Moses is currently in his second term as President of the Multnomah Neighborhood Association, having served from 2010-2014, and was elected again in 2021 to the present. He's been an active member of the Multnomah County Community Budget Advisory Committee since 2018.

 

Moses also served on the Multnomah County Charter Review Committee in 2015 and championed the Multnomah County-wide Campaign Finance Reform measure onto the county-wide ballot where over 75% of county voters approved it! It laid the groundwork and the momentum to get the City of Portland Honest Elections measure on the ballot which passed by over 78% approval of Portland voters.

 

Moses was PTA President for two terms at Maplewood Elementary, the school his daughter attended.

 

He has been active in the county and state Democratic Party as a Party Officer, Committee Chair, a member of both the County and State Central Committees, and representing his neighbors as a Precinct Committee Person.
