Early life and career

Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Moore attended Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, a magnet school. [2] He attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, and, after college, moved to Orlando, where he took a job at AT&T. During college, friends told him to do a local open mic night, which led him to do more standup and audience warm-up work for television shows.

He performed at comedy clubs in New York and Los Angeles, and appeared as an opener on shows such as The Mickey Mouse Club and America's Funniest People . [3]

He temporarily moved to New York City to work behind the scenes on MTV's Remote Control , then moved back to Orlando to be with his wife and newborn son. While doing warmup work for Dick Clark on Let's Make A Deal , he was invited to audition for Nick Arcade. [4]

After leaving Nickelodeon, Moore worked mainly behind the scenes as a writer and producer on a variety of programs. [5]

Moore lives with his family in Los Angeles.
