Gregory David Moring (“Candidate”) was born and raised in San Jose, California. As a teenager, he became developed a passion for music and drama, performing in many high school theatrical productions. He also took classes in poetry, and several of his poems were published in poetry journals and magazines. His artistic ambitions led him to enroll as an English major at Loyola Marymount University, where he studied literature with Scott Odom, Kelly Younger, and Richard Kocher. He also performed with the Consort Singers and the Concert Choir, both under the direction of Mary Breden. His drive to expand his studies took him to USC, where he was accepted into the prestigious Annenberg School for Communication. He brought his creative talents into his studies with such respected scholars as Daniel Durbin, Ken Sereno, Jonathan Taplin, and Josh Kun. Outside of Annenberg, he studied Musical Theatre Composition with distinguished Broadway composer-lyricist Jason Robert Brown, a Visiting Lecturer for the School of Theatre. Recognizing the reputation of USC’s film school, he studied with manager Frederick Levy and film critic Leonard Maltin. After graduation in 2007, he registered for Monster.com, Ning, and a host of other job-seeking sites. He plans to take things from there, one day at a time.
