“Honesty” with Elmer Moore
• – • Third Branch Creative Studio
About the speaker
Elmer Moore Jr. believes in people, places and things. A transplant to the Midwest, Elmer tells the story of his life in names and places. He’s founder of Milwaukee Denim Co., a manufacturer of premium apparel and accessories that embodies the grit, simplicity, and beauty of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He came to Milwaukee from New York City in 2013. Elmer is also the Executive Director of Scale Up Milwaukee, an initiative of Greater Milwaukee Committee and an entrepreneurship instructor at Marquette University. He is also a former professional modern dancer. But that’s another story altogether. He earned a B.A. from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA and M.B.A. from Columbia Business School in New York City.
