The other was helping basketball star Shaquille O'Neal with his skis and spending time talking with him, about his career. Mr. O'Neal gave Moises some advice, "It isn't how tall or how old you get, it is having the courage to follow your dreams." Later he was employed at Walmart and City of Durango. His passion since childhood were cars, the older models especially low riders. He loved to "get down and dirty," as he called it. He was also, an avid lover of music, from classical to rock and everything in between.
