Maurice, affectionately known as Coach Moe in the football community, has had a lifelong love affair with the game of football since playing as a child. As a resident of Ivy Hill, he saw a need for more active youth programs in the community. After his success in youth football, Coach Moe took his talents to the high school level working as an assistant coach for Hall of Fame Coach Darnell Grant at Malcolm X Shabazz HS in Newark.
