Early life and education
Moore was born in Houston, Texas, where he grew up in the Third Ward area which is a hotspot of criminal activity. Moore’s parents were severe drug addicts and had several run ins with the law which led to him becoming homeless by the age of 14. By this time his mother abandoned him and his father went to prison.
Moore even as a teenager was determined and focused. He worked several odd jobs in order to earn money and feed himself and his sister. Moore often lived, ate and slept on park benches, 24/7 restaurants or crashed at his friend’s place.
Even after facing such obstacles, Moore never dropped out of school and graduated from Jack Yates Senior High School in Houston. Soon after he pursued a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the Texas Southern University.
