Deva Moses
Deva moved to Sevierville with her husband, Jerry, in 2008, and after eight years of prayer, God blessed them with their first daughter, Eden, in 2011. Choosing to leave her job to be a stay-at-home mom, Deva’s vision and drive soon led her to create Bear Tootin Rustic Vacations from the ground up. Today, she is the proud mother of two daughters and a successful entrepreneur, owning and operating five businesses. She also co-founded Fierce, a women’s entrepreneur group where she encourages and mentors others as they navigate their own journeys. Grounded in her love for Christ and her family, Deva’s story is both remarkable and inspirational. When she isn’t leading her companies, she enjoys all-day shopping trips with friends and exploring new adventures with her family.
Jerry Moses
Jerry relocated to Sevierville in 2008 from the small town of Cynthiana, KY, alongside his wife, Deva, in search of greater opportunities within this thriving community. Together, they have made Sevierville home and are raising their two daughters, Eden and Tabitha. Jerry is a devoted Christian, a loving husband, and a dedicated father. He finds joy in spending quality time with his family, taking scenic drives through the Smoky Mountains, and deepening his faith through reading the Bible.
