He
has worked in Australia, New Zealand and England on news organisations
such as The Melbourne Age, the BBC World Service, the Daily
Telegraph (London), the New Zealand Herald, Radio Australia
and various British regional papers.
In
1987 Richard Moore spent a month in Belfast shooting a photo essay
on The Troubles, coming a bit too close to a hand-grenade attack
for his liking, and in 1989 covered the fall of the Berlin Wall.
His
first foray into web development was a computer game site called
Gameblitz, he then built the Web
Wombat search portal and was editor of it for five years. Web
Wombat now gets more than 800,000 visitors a month.
At
the same time Richard Moore created The
Napoleonic Guide - a 2500-page reference website on the
Napoleonic Era. Built for teachers, students and history buffs The
Napoleonic Guide gets more than 170,000 visitors a month.
In
2004, Richard Moore built TikiTouring.co.nz
and it is now a major tourism website for people travelling to -
or around - New Zealand.
He
is currently working from a beach in New Zealand as a writer, editor,
photographer and newspaper columnist.
In
addition he is still trying to finish a novel on the Napoleonic
Wars. The
factional work follows the campaigns of the Worcestershire Regiment
during the Peninsular War in Portugal and Spain and he promises
it will be ready by ... when it is finished.
Richard
Moore has also opened up the game shop BattleZone
in Tauranga.
He
is a mad keen Geelong football club supporter and is in heaven with
our recent two premiership flags!!!!!!!!!!
In
2008 he almost ended up in heaven through a rather inconvenient
heart attack, during which he drove himself to hospital for treatment.
