Information
Dr. Moore grew up on a livestock ranch in Central Texas. He was
active in the FFA as a high school student and earned the American
FFA Degree. After graduating from Tarleton State College (Texas)
with a degree in Agricultural Education he taught high school
agriculture for 4 years, first in Kansas and then in Ohio. He then
joined the faculty at Ohio State where he taught the Introduction
to Agricultural Education course while working on his graduate
degrees.
After graduate school, Dr. Moore taught at Purdue University (but
it was too cold); then he went to LSU (but it was too hot); so he
came to North Carolina State University in 1989 and has been here
every since because it is just right.
He is a member of the NCSU Academy of Outstanding Teachers and was
recognized as the outstanding agriculture professor in American by
the National Association of Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture
in 1996. He is
currently the National President of the Asssociation for Career
and Technical Education. (ACTE). Other honors are listed at the
