Mr. Mo grew up in Youngstown Ohio, which is located in northeast Ohio (halfway between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, also halfway between Chicago and New York).  At one time Youngstown was full of steel mills, but most have now been removed.  Youngstown is also home to Mill Creek park (one of the biggest and most natural inner-city parks in the United States). 

Mr. Moorhead's parents continue to live in Youngstown, but his younger sister and her family live here in Colorado Springs. 

Ohio is also home to Cedar Point (the roller coaster capital of the world)!

In my spare time...

I try to live life to the fullest with family and friends!  I enjoy traveling, so I've been in most of the States.  My favorite road trip song is "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane.  I've also been to Canada, Mexico (yes, they are other countries), England, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Spain, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Japan, and China!  Next on my list of places yet to see: Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, and Madagascar!     

                      The Great Wall of China!                       

I also enjoy the Pittsburgh Steelers, the month of March, going to the gym, video games, drawing; and getting to snowboard, hike, and 4 wheel in the amazing Colorado Rockies!
