A 1986 graduate of Yale University[2], Moehringer began his journalism career as a news assistant at The New York Times.
He won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing in 2000.
His memoir, "The Tender Bar" was published in 2005. It entails his childhood through his early twenties. Moehringer's memoir recounts his coming of age experiences at the local bar, Dickens, which served as a sanctuary from his chaotic family life.[3]
The 2007 film Resurrecting the Champ, is loosely based on Moehringer's article on former boxing great Bob Satterfield in the Los Angeles Times Magazine. The film stars Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Hartnett and Alan Alda and was directed by Rod Lurie.
