Mark DeMoss Bio

"I am concerned about the hate and animosity being aimed at men andwomen with whom we may disagree on one issue or another and havedecided to do something about it."

 

Mark DeMoss is founder of The Civility Project, a voluntary, grassroots movement of people from diverse backgrounds who agree that solutions to our most pressing problems will be found only through a more civil exchange of ideas.  To take The Civility Pledge, visit CivilityProject.org.

DeMoss is president of The DeMoss Group, a public relations firm he founded in 1991 specifically to serve Christian organizations and causes. More than 125 non-profit organizations and corporations have sought counsel and support from his firm in the areas of communications, media relations, marketing, non-profit management, and crisis management. A number of the largest non-profit organizations in America are counted among The DeMoss Group's clients.

With 25 years of experience in the public relations industry, DeMoss has not been a stranger to harsh rhetoric and hateful accusations.  Before starting The DeMoss Group, DeMoss served as chief of staff to Jerry Falwell.  In the recent presidential primaries, DeMoss worked as an unpaid advisor to the Mitt Romney campaign.

DeMoss was born and raised outside of Philadelphia and graduated from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., with a B.A. in political science.  His first book, The Little Red Book of Wisdom (Thomas Nelson), was published in 2007.
