American Ninja Warrior 9
He first competed as a walk-on in LA in American Ninja Warrior 9, where he had arguably one of the most gruesome yet courageous efforts on the course. In qualifying, he cut his head after a hard impact on the Fly Wheels. Despite him bleeding on the course, Moreno completed it successfully and battled his through the next two obstacles, being the first to finish the Battering Ram. Moreno later failed the Warped Wall, but placed 23rd overall and was able to make it to the city finals.

His run in the city finals was digested but it was shown that he beat the Warped Wall. However, on the Salmon Ladder, despite clearing the obstacle, he lost his grip at the top and fell into the water, ending his run. His run did not advance him to the national finals, as he placed 21st overall.

American Ninja Warrior 10
Moreno competed in American Ninja Warrior 10 where his run was all cut, but he was one of 15 competitors to fail the Sky Hooks.
