MOXA originated from the desire of college students to assist their peers and young professionals with moving out of their accommodations, recognizing that most moves primarily require physical effort, time, and energy. They observed that many moving companies overcharge for subpar services, leading them to advocate for do-it-yourself moving as a more feasible alternative. The core mission of MOXA is to transform the typically dreaded moving process into a more enjoyable experience. By recruiting athletic and friendly locals, they aim to provide efficient moving services at reasonable rates. Their narrative emphasizes the importance of surrounding influences, notably their grandfather and father, who instilled in them an entrepreneurial mindset and a commitment to serving others.

Jerry Sibley and his wife Reba served as inspirational figures, having built a successful nursery business named Grassland, which taught the MOXA founders about seizing opportunities and prioritizing customer experience from a young age. Likewise, their father, Carlos Sibley, imparted invaluable lessons on hospitality and serving others, evident from his leadership in a small Baptist church. The ethos of entrepreneurship and servant leadership runs deep in their family, as evidenced by their earliest business venture, a local sports newsletter, and continues to evolve through MOXA. They embrace their journey of growth and learning, acknowledging uncertainties about the future but remaining steadfast in their commitment to progress.
