Playing career
Originally from Amherst, Massachusetts, Moss excelled during his high school years at Amherst Regional High School and then completed a postgraduate year at Northfield Mount Hermon School.[1][2] Although he only started playing basketball in his sophomore year,[3] he advanced rapidly and went on to compete at the NCAA Division I level with the Brown Bears. After spending the 1976–77 season on the freshman squad, he earned varsity letters for three seasons.[4] During his collegiate tenure, Moss was selected twice for the All-Ivy League First Team and led the conference in scoring as a senior with an average of 21.2 points per game, which secured him the Player of the Year award.[5] By the conclusion of his career, he amassed a total of 1,241 points, placing him sixth all-time in Brown's scoring records upon graduation.[4] In recognition of his achievements, Moss was inducted into Brown University's athletics hall of fame in 1986.[4]

Following his athletic career, Moss pursued a professional role as a marketing representative at IBM based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He is related to former NBA player and the 1982 America East Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year, Perry Moss, who is his brother. Their sister, Paula Moss, graduated from Tufts University in 1982 and was recognized as the school's leading scorer with a career total of 1,018 points—a record that has since been surpassed.
