Alex Moore, knows the importance of trying your hand at many things. In fact, it’s part of who he is and why it makes him such an interesting human to speak with and listen to! 

Alex was born in St.Louis, Missouri. He grew up in a quintessential American town and is still best friends with two of the guys who lived on the same road as him!

At school, he was the class clown, played sport, but also enjoyed art, ceramics, and sculpting. A creative side he would re-visit many years later. 

After a couple of years working as a chemistry teacher, it was his love for rugby and his appetite for travel and adventure, that took him on a path to the UK. He worked as a primary school teacher while playing rugby. He also started landing himself a few small roles in various movies, like Green Zone, Captain America, RED 2 and The Dark Knight Rises.

It was during a holiday to New Zealand, to visit his fiances family, when Alex told his future father-in-law, that he wanted to spend some time gold-panning. After 40 hours of panning, they had found 1.5 grams of the required 20 grams to make a wedding ring! 

After moving back to New Zealand permanently to start their family, life dealt them a devastating blow. Their one twin, Grace, was diagnosed with a brain tumour…

These days, Alex is the proud founder of Gold Pan Pete, a jewellery making business, and he works as a part-time school teacher too. He is also a Dad to three beautiful and healthy children, who he gets to spend much more time with than ever before.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Your fellow beings
Craig and Gareth
