Born in Modesto and raised in Thousand Oaks, David Moore is one of four children. His brother and two sisters live across the western states. With a mother who is a Presbyterian pastor and a father who is a retired Pepperdine professor, David says that both of his parents continually inspire him.

After graduating from Pepperdine, David worked as an insurance claims adjuster but found greater fulfillment in volunteering at his mom's inner-city church, where he worked with kids of all ages. Feeling the call to seminary, David studied nearby at Fuller.

After seminary he helped at local churches before accepting a cross-country call to a church on Long Island, where he spent the next eight winters. He is excited by the thought of winters in Los Altos.

While in New York, David met his wife Kaidi (pronounced like Heidi but with a “K”). Estonian, but born into the Soviet Union, Kaidi was in Estonia when it recently regained its freedom. Kaidi is studying nursing and will graduate in May from Stony Brook University.
