Jedidiah is an entrepreneur who began his journey at 19 by launching “Odd Job Jed,” a firm offering creative solutions across business development and operations. In 2023, at age 24, he co-founded The Dandy Project with his sister Erzsi Moffatt. Now a 501(c)(3) public charity, their mission is to protect, empower, and support those who do the same for the next generation. They purchase surplus and overstock childcare goods from major retailers at steep discounts and distribute them to struggling families through partnerships with law enforcement, tribal reservations, medical clinics, and other frontline service organizations.
