Phillip Moore, technician for TruTech Wildlife Services in Southwest Florida, hosts in-person and online art workshops for veterans to use as a form of post-war therapy.
Phillip Moore has been known for handling “dangerous critters” for nearly a decade. He spends his free time helping local veterans overcome mental health challenges through creating different forms of art.
He was presented with the David Cooksey PestVet of the Year Award at NPMA Legislative Day in March 2022 for his volunteer work. PCT's Digital Editor Amanda Donchatz spoke with Moore on how he got involved in art therapy as an outlet for his PTSD, helping other veterans overcome mental health and societal barriers, and his passion for working in the pest control industry.
