He had 29 in assists in his years at Wake Forest, an all-time record for the University.

Professional

Moose was selected in the first round, 7th overall, by D.C. United in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. He played in eight Major League Soccer games for the team before being released at the end of 2007. He was briefly re-signed by D.C. in March 2008 to a developmental contract, but released not long after.

Following his release, he joined the Vancouver Whitecaps in the USL. On October 12, 2008, he helped the Whitecaps capture their second USL First Division Championship beating the Puerto Rico Islanders 2–1 in Vancouver.[1] On December 16, 2008, the Vancouver Whitecaps announced the re-signing of Moose for the 2009 season.[2]

On February 4, 2011, it was announced that Moose had signed with Sriracha F.C. of the Thai Premier League.[3] Moose then spent a stint in Finland with both HJK Helsinki and SJK.

Moose returned to the United States when he signed with USL Pro's Wilmington Hammerheads on January 9, 2015.[4]

Moose's brother Andrew plays lead guitar and is lead vocals for Galveston, a band he co-founded in Hickory, North Carolina. On occasion, Justin sits in on guitar and vocals.[5]

gollark: * no dedicated support needed
gollark: What I'd really like is the ability to just go around defining operators arbitrarily like in Haskell, making the operator overloading basically just a consequence of traits with no dedicated support.
gollark: Well, they are generally Rust's standard method for overloading things/implementing shared behavior, so it's more sensible than magically named methods.
gollark: Operator overloading: traits are more verbose, but make *a lot more sense* and are more consistent.
gollark: Ternary statements: I agree with that.
