Michael Mahue Moore: Been Doing This a Long Time… And I Still Enjoy It!

A native of St. Louis, Missouri and now based in Las Vegas, he is a Merchant Mariner and Senior Communications Officer serving aboard USNS naval vessels. He received training at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School in St. Louis, Savannah College of Art and Design, and Miles College in Alabama; grounding his practice as a multidisciplinary artist engaged in all facets of the arts.

Moore’s creative work spans set design, theatre, writing, acting, dance and visual art. As an author, he has written more than nine novels, with four currently published. He is also an accomplished voice‑over artist, recognized for his award‑winning audiobook The Brown N White. His visual art is featured by the United States Coast Guard, with six works held in the permanent collections of more than four U.S. embassies worldwide.
