 The
Great Kindness
Challenge Director
Rick Moore
Rick lives in Encinitas, California with his young
son, Ryan. He is passionate about making our world
smaller, by fostering more communication and understanding between
people of different nations and cultures. He also loves to promote
things. Both enthusiasms fuel his drive to see The Great Kindness Challenge
celebrated as far and wide as possible. Mainly, though, it’s Rick’s
belief that inspiring acts of kindness is a great way to change our
world for the better.
Prior to Kids for Peace, Rick spent most of his
career in international economic development, promoting
and facilitating trade and investment between countries in North America,
Europe and the Asia Pacific region. He has also been hired to handle
business development, marketing and sales for a variety of organizations.
Rick
has an MA in International Relations from Boston University and a BA
in the same field from the University of Pennsylvania. He loves reading,
cooking, cycling and a wide range of other outdoor sports, but most
of all playing with his son, Ryan. |
