Meet Our Keynote Speaker
Neal Moore
Neal Moore is the author of two non-fiction books – Down the Mississippi and Homelands: A Memoir – as well as numerous news articles. His 7,500 mile cross-continent “sea to shining sea” expedition of illumination, considered a first from west to east, was covered by major media around the world. Topps Allen & Ginter honored Moore with a pop culture “Explorer & Writer” baseball card, and the Mark Twain Museum, CNN and The Times of London have dubbed him “the modern-day Huckleberry Finn.”
Neal Moore paddling by the Statue of Liberty
In December 2021, Moore completed a 22-month solo canoe journey across America. Folks he'd met along the way traveled from all over the country to watch him arrive at the Statue of Liberty in his red Old Town vessel, which he'd paddled from the Pacific. Neal spent 675 days and covered 7,500 miles on his circuitous journey, stopping in various towns and cities to get to know the residents.
