Bob Moser

Bob Moser, who has worked for the Orlando Sentinel’s Growthspotter.com since it launched, is leaving the real estate and development news website to work for a civil engineering firm.

Moser moved to Central Florida from São Paulo, Brazil, in April 2015 to work for GrowthSpotter.com as a reporter in advance of the launch in May 2015.

He has since covered early-stage land acquisition and real estate development in Orlando and Orange County’s I-Drive tourism corridor, and was promoted to editor of GrowthSpotter in January 2016.

Based in Brazil from June 2008 through March 2015, Moser covered Brazilian commodities, energy, private investment and more for news outlets in the U.S. and Europe. His work appeared in a variety of business publications, including Meatingplace.com and CarneTec.com.br, Plastics News, EMIS DealWatch (www.emis.com), Sugaronline.com, Future Airport, Modern Power Systems and Port Strategy.

He previously covered growth and development in Lafayette, Louisiana, for The Daily Advertiser from 2006 to 2008 and is a journalism graduate of Bowling Green State University.
