Mr. Moore, a public servant with more than 35 years federal service supports combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder and veterans with military sexual trauma. As readjustment counseling therapist and efforts to support the Veterans Health Administration's Whole Health initiatives, Mr. Moore created a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer & Questioning (LGBTQ) veteran support group and Walk for Life groups.
An expert in his field, Mr. Moore graduated specialized military schools to include the Defense Intelligence College, 1991 and the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, 2000. In May 1984, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill bestowed Mr. Moore a Bachelor of Arts in English with a strong emphasis in the humanities and social sciences. The University of Oklahoma at Norman conferred him a Master of Human Relations, July 2000. And finally, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte awarded Mr. Moore a Master of Social Work, May 2013.
In conjunction with his work, Mr. Moore volunteered as a Rape Crisis Companion, United Family Services (Safe Alliance), 2010. He also served as a member of the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and the Human Rights Campaign. Mr. Moore was named MSW Intern of the Year, 2011-12 at the Daymark Recovery Services, Crisis Recovery Center, Union County.

A social justice and human rights advocate and change agent, Mr. Moore embraces the concept of neighbor as a global, transcultural one. And he recognizes, as in the words of poet, James Autry that "You are in these hills, who you were and who you will become, and not just who you are."
