Career

Moses was born in Loma Linda, California, to U.S. Air Force colonel Glenn Edward and schoolteacher Sissy Moses. He did not begin swimming year-round until his senior year of high school.[3]

Moses swam for the University of Virginia and won in the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke events at the 2000 NCAA Division I Championships, setting world records for both events (in 2000 the NCAAs were swum short course meters, allowing for world records). He graduated from the University of Virginia in 2004 with a degree in sports medicine. He has also volunteered as an assistant coach at the University.[4]

Leading into the 2000 Olympic Games, Moses broke an American record at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials. At the 2000 Olympics he won two medals: silver in the 100-meter breaststroke and gold as a member of the USA's world record-setting 4 × 100 medley relay.

On Nov. 5, 2010 SwimmingWorld.TV announced that Ed Moses was making a comeback.[5] As part of his return to swimming, Moses swam at the 2011 U.S. Masters Short Course Nationals.

Post swimming

Moses continued his sporting career as a semi-professional golfer. He co-founded MoJo Marketing & Media, a creative content consulting company. He currently serves as a vice president. He is also pursuing an MBA degree at UCLA Anderson School of Management[6]

In 2009 Moses appeared on Golf Channel's Big Break Disney Golf where he was eliminated in the first episode. In 2017, he appeared as a contestant on the Netflix reality series Ultimate Beastmaster, finishing second in his episode.[7]
