We are James Moore!
We’re individuals with unique talents and the freedom to be ourselves. Our differences drive our success and shape a culture where authenticity and creativity thrive.
We take a people-first approach—recognizing each employee as a whole person, understanding their unique needs and offering support that extends beyond the workplace.
Playing Hard, Bonding Harder!
Our yearly field day-style event is a chance for us to bond further with our coworkers—not to mention get outside and enjoy the gorgeous North Florida fall weather. At stake: Year-long bragging rights. (And medals. Shiny ones!) We also participate in community fundraising events, like the MeStrong 5K in DeLand, FL. Watch our videos to learn more about these fun events!
Community Minded
Buy local. Play local. Serve local. It’s a valued tenet of our culture. So we make a concerted effort to give back to the communities where we work, live and raise our families.
