Shaun Moore lives with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and serves as an MDF Awareness Ambassador and co-facilitator of the Affected Men’s MDF Support Group. He lives with his wife, dog, cat, chickens and lots of wildlife in a 100-year-old barn they completely converted into a home on a small farmstead in the Appalachian Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina.
Shaun took a scenic route on his way to graduating from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources and Environmental Science. He has spent 20 years in the stream and forest restoration business, including the last 10 as a well-known small business owner and member of several community organization boards.
You used to frequently find Shaun biking, whitewater kayaking, backpacking, fishing, and hunting in the rivers and mountains of western North Carolina. Now you are more likely to find him fishing or relaxing at his ponds, keeping up with biking and baseball on TV or occasionally at events, watching wildlife, and making friends online. Shaun looks forward to advocating and sharing his story to support the DM community.
