Patrick Moore

Patrick Moore is an author, activist, producer, and counselor living in Los Angeles. As an author, Moore is best known for "Tweaked: A Crystal Meth Memoir," which tracks his descent into addiction and through the sometimes equally strange world of recovery. In 2004, Beacon Press published Moore's analysis of how AIDS had warped the legacy of sexual experimentation for gay men in "Beyond Shame: Reclaiming the Abandoned History of Radical Gay Sexuality." Moore's work as a journalist has appeared in The Advocate, the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, and the Chicago Tribune.

Earlier in his career, Moore was the Founding Director of the Estate Project for Artists with AIDS: a non-profit effort to preserve and present the cultural artifacts of the AIDS crisis. At the Estate Project, Moore pioneered the use of digital technology to preserve art works in several media and developed collaborative projects with the Guggenheim Museum, the Academy Film Archive, and the New York Public Library.

Moore has produced digital content for Yahoo! Health where he served as an "Expert Blogger" covering mental health and spirituality. He also produced video content for Yahoo! including a cooking show featuring Wolfgang Puck and a parenting series with the comic Julia Sweeney.

Currently, Moore works as a drug and alcohol counselor and is producing a documentary.
