Biography:

Born and raised in Ogden, Blake Moore learned responsibility and hard work from his dad and about optimism and service from his mom.

Sports taught Blake the importance of relying on those around you, and that constant improvement is possible. During his senior year, he was awarded the Wendy’s National High School Heisman, honoring high school seniors for athletics, academics, and citizenship. This brought all sorts of unexpected experiences from articles in church magazines to being honored by Governor Leavitt and the Utah Legislature, and the late Mayor Glenn J. Mecham dedicating December 23rd as Blake Moore Day in Ogden. What he remembers most, however, was a brief conversation with a Heisman trustee after the ceremony. He mentioned that it was Blake's Eagle Scout and other service projects that set him apart. He remembers thinking at the very moment, "I’m not special; that’s just the way we raise kids in Northern Utah."

After graduating high school, Blake signed a scholarship to play quarterback at Utah State University for a mentor and friend Dave Arslanian (Coach Ars). In Logan, he became fast friends with Aggie basketball great Spencer Nelson, and they entered the Missionary Training Center on the same day. They remain the closest of friends and have become real estate partners for a small business based in Logan, Utah. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Seoul, South Korea, and finished his bachelor’s degree at the University of Utah. He later obtained a master’s in public policy and administration from Northwestern University.

Blake married Jane Boyer prior to the couple's move to Singapore. They have four boys: Max, George, Winston and Franklin.

He began his career by serving the country in various civilian roles, most notably as a foreign service officer for the U.S. Department of State, in the intelligence and defense community. This service first took him to Washington D.C. and then Asia, where he gained first-hand knowledge of the threats that the U.S. faces from foreign enemies, and where he was involved in our foreign-policy approach to the Chinese government. Serving in this capacity also gave him a unique understanding of what is vital and what is wasteful in our federal government.

Before his 2020 election to Congress, he spent nearly a decade with Cicero Group, a Utah-based management consulting firm, where he helped businesses grow and helped organizations solve complex problems.

Outside of work, he has invested heavily in community-building efforts on behalf of the Utah Adoption Exchange and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. He founded a local kickball event that supported the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program focusing on finding forever families for children in foster care, and was appointed as co-chair to help develop the next generation of chamber of commerce leaders.
