CD Moulton was born in Lakeland, Florida, and lived much of his life in Florida, though he has lived in various other places, such as San Francisco, California, Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and many other places for short periods of time in his 11 years of traveling in import/export and research. He traveled more when he was a rock guitarist.

He has been everything from a longshoreman to a high steel worker, from an auto salvage yard manager to a bar owner, from a concession stand operator to a commercial fisherman.
CD now resides in Bonita Springs, Florida, where he pursues his research into orchid culture and his favorite pastime: beach bum.
