At the age of 7, my family moved to Bogota, Colombia. My father was in charge of construction of several sections of the Pan American highway. I attended a Colombian school through the eighth grade, then returned to California for high school and college. I received a B.A. in Political Science from Occidental College. Thereafter, I served in the United States Air Force for six years as an Intelligence Officer. I spent two tours in Vietnam in addition to assignments in several other countries, holding the rank of Captain. I was selected to serve on several disciplinary panels to review incidents of airmen and officer misdemeanors in the community. Following the Air Force, I joined our family company. Most of my career has been spent in Latin America, especially Colombia. I am bi-lingual. I have made an effort to participate in civic organizations as well as charities in the host countries in which I have lived. In Colombia, I was selected by the Colombian -American Chamber of Commerce to serve as an advisor to the National Police in formulating policy for arrests of expatriates. For the last 8 years I have lived in Miami where the business, Moore Overseas Construction Company, is headquartered; I serve as president of the company. I have been involved in activities of the Coral Gables Methodist Church, as well as serving for the last 5 years as Secretary on the Board of Directors ofGrove Isle, where I live. With the hope of contributing more actively in Miami civic affairs, I am applying to become a member of the Civilian Investigative Panel. If selected, I believe I would make a valuable contribution in the review of actions of members of the Miami Police Department.
