Titus Moore boasts an impressive résumé. He’s a 2023 Samford graduate, current Master of Business Administration student, track and field student-athlete, and the owner of Moore’s Granola, a snack brand he developed as a resident of the Samford Startup program. And he has gleaned wisdom and experience through his competitive corporate internships with Coca-Cola and Danone.
These experiences have sharpened Moore’s professional skills to launch and expand his granola enterprise. Moore’s Granola was inspired by his own experience as a student-athlete, looking for a convenient and affordable snack with all-natural, simple ingredients. In February, he launched his signature granola bar, and he sold out of the first batch of inventory within two days. This initial success has motivated him to push his business further.
Now, after completing his successful collegiate track and field endeavors, Moore is focused on the entrepreneurial career that lies ahead of him. With goals to expand his business, Moore's Granola has become the official snack provider for track and field athlete Curtis Thompson, who was recently the first-place qualifier for Team USA's Olympic javelin squad, and Zeph Carico-McLennan, a fellow Samford student-athlete who competed in the track and field Olympic trials.
"Curtis and Zeph have done commercials for my product and eat it as an energy booster as they prepare to compete," Moore said. In addition, Moore has also signed agreements with the athletics department at Samford and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Moore's Granola will become the official snack bar of Samford athletics beginning this fall.
“My time at Samford has been a great blessing, equipping me with the skills and networks needed to become a young, confident professional. The relationships I formed with faculty and other students were among the most valuable aspects of my time at school. They have given me support that continues to inspire and encourage me to be the best I can be,” he said. “This Christ-centered environment allowed for personal growth and innovation, creating a foundation that I know I can rely on for the rest of my life.”
