About Devin Moss
Devin Sean (D.S.) Moss is a Humanist Chaplain and Webby Award-winning storyteller unwavering in his pursuit to relate stories that connect us to our humanity. A natural explorer, he uses playful inquisition to examine the complexity of the human condition and the intrinsic meaning of life. Moss maintains an interdisciplinary practice of storytelling, street philosophy, and practical altruism. In 2015, Moss created The Adventures of Memento Mori podcast. The consequence of this deep meditation on impermanence was life changing. Uncertain of what happens after we die, Moss has dedicated his life to the positive changes that can happen while we’re still alive.
