Dr. Moore graduated from Princeton University in 1971 with a BA in English Literature and earned an MA in Literature from the University of Virginia in 1972. He graduated from Baylor College of Medicine in 1977 and completed residencies in both Family Practice and Obstetrics and Gynecology while on active duty in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. Dr. Moore served in the Army from 1974 to 1990, with a brief interval on the faculty of the University of Texas, Southwestern Medical School in Dallas from 1983 to 1985 as Director of the Family Practice residency.

While in practice, he served as Medical Director of the Care Net Northwest Pregnancy Center and continued his education at Grace Theological Seminary headquartered in The Woodlands. Many women met the Great Physician through Dr. Moore. Even after thousands of deliveries, he never lost his sense of awe at the birth of a baby. He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Caroline E.
