Hello Brettlb,
Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, since updating to macOS Mojave, you're having an issue with starting up your Mac Pro as expected. First, try running First Aid on your hard drive with the built in Disk Utility tool, as this can correct simple issues like you're experiencing.
Disk Utility for Mac: Repair a disk using Disk Utility
Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:
Log into your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
Graphics performance limited in macOS Recovery, safe mode, or Guest User mode
Cheers!

Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:
- Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
- Loads only required kernel extensions
- Prevents startup items and login items from opening automatically
- Disables user-installed fonts
- Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
