David Moon has built a local, regional and national reputation over 25 years as both a successful investor and an independent thinker. He is a regular contributor to CNBC's “After The Bell,” and his incisive editorial writing has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and Corporate Board Member magazine. He currently pens a weekly commentary for newspaper publisher Scripps.

David serves on the Investment Committee for the City of Knoxville and is chairman of the board of the Knoxville Zoo, the largest tourist attraction in Knox County, Tennessee.

In addition to his research and client responsibilities at Moon Capital Management, David has provided expert reports and testimony on various types of financial litigation – an activity in which he finds little pleasure and that he almost always vows never to perform again.

David earned bachelor’s and MBA degrees (both cum laude) from the University of Tennessee, where he was named a member of the Academic All-Southeastern Conference football team his senior year. He was an adjunct professor in the finance department of his alma mater from 1995 to 2002 and received a number of teaching awards. He earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation in 1995.

David is also the author of a series of daily devotionals for elementary and middle school-aged students and their families. A new lesson about spirituality, responsibility, planning, goal setting, relationships, gratitude or love can be found each day at Thoughts are Things.

Along with his wife of 25 years and their 10-year-old twins, David lives on an east Knox County farm where his life regularly resembles old episodes of "Green Acres."
