NON-PROFITS
I still remember the date I missed
three board meetings at the same
time, with no feeling of conflict:
"Sorry, I'm training to be a
cosmonaut and can't make it!" “
I got my foot in the
door as a security
guard, but my
willingness to take
on any task and
ability to solve
problems won me
mmoore
responsibilities
and more senior
roles.
As I look back on it,
[my startup] Homerun
Services was an early
attempt to combine
my passion for
baseball with my
passion for analysis.

...My passion for
baseball analysis has
been replaced by my
passion for real estate
analysis.
If I had stayed at Apple
[as a marketing manager],
I never would have done
my own thing. “
