Moody is a native of Silicon Valley and a U.S. veteran, having served in Vietnam from 1966 to 1968. He is a graduate of the former Ellwood P. Cubberley High School in Palo Alto and has a degree in business administration from San Jose State. Moody has served as chair of SILVAR's Cupertino-Sunnyvale District and as a California Association of REALTORS® Region 9 director.

In his address to members and guests, Moody said he spent 25 years in high tech sales before getting his license 15 years ago. Quoting the late Steve Jobs, Moody said, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."

Moody told members and guests, "Getting into real estate is where I belong and has made me very happy and I know I have found it. I also believe that it is necessary to give back to the business I love and that is why I put in so much time with the Association to see us run smoothly and efficiently."

Moody said his goal as president of SILVAR is to see that members follow the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics and Civility. He said, "We all know that the low inventory can be challenging at times, but market change can be around the corner."
