Who Is Rudy Moise’s Wife?

In April 2014, Moise was appointed Ambassador-at-Large by Haitian president Michel Martelly to promote investments in Haiti. Moise later unveiled alternatives to promote tourism, revitalize agricultural production, create jobs, inject foreign capital into the national economy, and rehabilitate the environment.

Moise has won the Pinnacle Award by ICABA for achievement and excellence. He is the past recipient of the Silver Medallion MCCJ Humanitarian of the Year Award, the American Diabetes Association Father of the Year Award and the 2012 Dorothy Shula Outstanding Volunteerism Award from the United Way of Miami Dade County. In 2017, he was honored the Humanitarian Award by Catwalk for Charity.

Moise served twenty-one years as a flight surgeon for the Homestead Air Reserve Station where he rose to the rank of colonel, the highest position awarded to an American of Haitian descent. He ran an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination for Florida’s 17th congressional district in 2010 and its 24th district in 2012, losing in both primary elections to Frederica Wilson.

In the 2010 election for Florida’s 17th congressional district, among a stacked Haitian-American ballot, Moise essentially split the vote. Running for the state’s 24th congressional district in 2012, Moise fell short again at a one-on-one chance against Federica Wilson, who had been endorsed by President Obama . Moise put $1 million of his own funds into his campaign.

In January 2010, Moise traveled to Haiti with a Disaster Rescue Team two days after the country was struck with a major earthquake, saving 11 lives.

Moise contributed $120,000 to complete a 2009 monument in Savannah, Georgia of a Haitian regiment known as the Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue that served as a reserve unit to the American and French forces against the British at the Siege of Savannah.

Moise was criticized in 2009 for his likeness being used for the historical Haitian monument at Franklin Square in Savannah, Georgia. Other Haitian community leaders have voiced their displeasure, such as Phillip Brutus calling it “sacrilege” and “corrupting history”. Brutus went on to say, “Haitians hold this very dear to their hearts. They take it very seriously, and when someone tampers with this, it unleashes all sorts of anger and anguish.” The opposition vowed to get the statues replaced with more accurate facial depictions.

Moise was President of the University of Miami Alumni Association (2003–2005), and has served on a number of boards.

After testifying and offering recommendations about Haiti’s crisis before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2003, Moise was appointed in 2004 by Florida governor Jeb Bush to serve on an advisory group to help Haiti.

In 2001, Moise established Miami’s first full-time Creole-language radio station, Radio Carnivale, leasing airtime from 1020 AM. The station went defunct in 2004.

In October 1991, Moise was honored among “Dade County’s Top 10 Black Businesses” by the Miami Dade Chamber of Commerce. In 1994, he won the Up and Comers Award by Price Waterhouse, and “Man of the Year” by the New Miami Group Inc. in May. In 1997, he was awarded “Black Business of the Year” by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, and was the winner of the “Entrepreneurial Excellence Award” by the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship in 1998. Moise was awarded the “Bill Colson Award” in 1994–1995 and the “Black Business of the Year Award” by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the “Community Leadership Award” in 2004. In 2005, he was among the five finalists for “Best Physician of the Year Award” in South Florida by The Business Journal.

In June 1988, Moise was among 28 bachelors featured by Ebony magazine.

Moise relocated to Miami sometime during the 1980s, and had earned a federal grant for his medical studies where he devoted several years of practice to a community that saw a large influx of Haitian refugees, that had been underserved and lacked enough doctors who spoke Creole.

In the 1980s, Moise worked as the on-call surgeon for Miami Vice.
