Governor Wes Moore
Maryland’s first African American governor, Wes Moore, was born in Takoma Park, Maryland in 1978. He’s a graduate of Valley Forge Military Academy and College, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He later earned a degree in international relations and economics from Johns Hopkins University, where he became the first African American Rhodes Scholar in the history of the college.
Moore is a man of many talents. He launched BridgeEdU, a Baltimore-based business to support underserved freshman students in reaching their goals. His company was acquired in 2018 by a platform called Edquity. Moore led soldiers in combat in Afghanistan and wrote several books including the New York Times bestseller The Other Wes Moore. He also served four years as CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation, which distributed $600 million to Marylanders in poverty.
