Attending North Central High School in Manly, Iowa, where he played the euphonium, it was his band director, Russ Phillipps, whose inspiration led him into pursuing a career in music education.

Since 1999, Moore has been teaching grades 5-12 instrumental music at Homer Community Schools in Homer, Nebraska.
