Coach Moore was born in El Paso and was lucky enough to have wrestled in high school for El Paso Sports Hall of Fame coach Erwin Bloxdorf who brought a wealth of wrestling knowledge to Texas with him from his home state of Pennsylvania . After walking on at Auburn University, Pat won a full scholarship and was a 3 year letter-man while earning a degree in electrical engineering. At Auburn he wrestled under National Hall of Fame Coach Swede Umbach and became an SEC champion. He is one of the first native Texans to qualify for the NCAA Div. 1 wrestling tournament.
After retiring from a career in the semiconductor industry, he wanted to give something back to the sport that had meant so much to him growing up and he became the head wrestling coach at Anderson High School and taught Math. He qualified at least one wrestler for the state tournament in each of his five seasons and had a state runnerup in his final year. He is married, and has two sons who both wrestled for Anderson High school. In addition to coaching youth wrestling, Pat likes to play pickleball and golf in his spare time.

Tim Brosnan
Tim was born in New Jersey, but moved to Texas while in elementary school. He wrestled at San Antonio Churchill in high school, and Lehigh University in college. Tim explains what wrestling has meant to him and the lessons he has learned from the sport:
My first wrestling match was against my dad on the carpet of our family room when I was 4 years old and in 1st grade I watched a high school dual meet for the first time - I loved the sport from a young age. From 3rd grade up into college and beyond, I spent countless hours in wrestling rooms and gyms striving to be a champion. I had great coaches who invested in my development as an athlete and a human being - my dad was my youth coach; Jim Lenth, Paul Corner, and Lee Miller were my high school coaches; Pat Santoro and Greg Strobel coached me at Lehigh University. I traveled the country at the youth, high school and college level, wrestling in NJ, PA, IA, IL, KS, MO, OK, OH, CO, and TX. I made the podium at the state tournament (3rd) and at national opens, but never finished at the top of the heap at the end of the season like I had always worked hard for. Wrestling brought me a profound sense of purpose, many joys, and some crushing lows. When I look back on it, it’s the relationships that stand out even more than the wins and losses. Working hard with teammates in and out of the room, developing under the guidance and investment of great coaches, and building friendships across the country is where the real gold is. I’ve received a lot from my time as an athlete and it’s what drives me to give back as a coach.
