Moore was born in Toledo, OH and grew up in Mansfield, OH. His father was a highway patrolman and his mother sold major appliances at a department store. Christopher Moore attended Ohio State University and Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. He moved to California when he was 19 years old and lived on the Central Coast until 2003, when he moved to Hawaii. Moore has since moved to San Francisco.
Before publishing his first novel, "Practical Demonkeeping" in 1992, Chris Moore worked as a roofer, a grocery clerk, a hotel night auditor, and insurance broker, a waiter, a photographer, and a rock 'n' roll DJ. Moore has drawn on all of these work experiences to create the characters in his books.
When he’s not writing, Chris Moore enjoys ocean kayaking, scuba diving, photography, and sumi-e ink painting. He divides his time between Hawaii and San Francisco.
