“I want people to be afraid of how much they love me” -Michael Scott

Moses Lurbur is the Editor-in-Chief of The Apple Leaf. This is his third year working on the paper and he has loved (almost) every second of it. Moses is currently growing tilapia at WHS, stressing out about college, and trying to get a social life. Moses has no free time right now, but if he ever finds some he will go fly fishing and mountain biking. If you want to learn how to fly fish, have any funny cat pictures, or have a question relating to The Apple Leaf you can reach Moses at:
