Up Close With...
Jason Moore
Director of School Music Operations
How long have you been with PMC, and what brought you to the company?
I started working for PMC in January of 2010. I was at a point in my life where I was ready for change and initially thought that working for a family-owned music store seemed like a great fit. However, after my first interview, I became even more attracted to the company. I learned a lot about PMC values and the overall company mission during that interview. Example: I learned that PMC was involved in sending employees to Brazil to help build churches through an organization called Christian Missions Unlimited (CMU). Coincidentally, this is something I had been involved with for over 10 years prior to interviewing for the position and was a very big part of my life. I had no doubt that PMC was the perfect fit.
Where did you grow up? Musical family? Professional background?
I was born in Springfield, but moved around a lot during my childhood. I've spent time in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas (Go Hogs!) and Missouri. Growing up, music was ever-present in my family. Both my mother and grandmother were very good piano players. I started playing piano and guitar as a hobby during my early teenage years and would spend many years playing for my church family.
Any pets?
I have two dogs. Mya is our 5-year-old black lab and Khaleesi (Khal) is our 2-year-old golden retriever. My wife and I enjoy getting them outdoors as much as possible.
Any interesting hobbies?
I am a dedicated St. Louis Cardinal baseball fan and root for the Razorbacks every chance I get (Woo Pig)! As mentioned above, I love spending time in Brazil! I really consider it my home away from home. My first trip there was in 2000 and it was to help build a church for an existing congregation that didn't have a place to meet. I fell in love with the people and the culture and eventually moved down there for several months. While I was there I helped with other church builds and took Portuguese classes to improve my communication with the Brazilian people.
Anything else you'd like to share?
I have been married to my beautiful wife, Rachel for (almost) two years. We love spending time with our dogs, listening to local live music and traveling as much as possible.
