After graduating from Michigan Technological University in 1976 with a Bachelors of Science degree in civil engineering, he began his career with the City ofMilwaukee in the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Bridges and Public Buildings.

He became a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Wisconsin in 1980.
Mr. Moore left the City of Milwaukee in 1987 to accept a position with MPS as the Assistant Director of the Physical Plant Division, currently known as the Division of Facilities and Maintenance Services.

Under Mr. Moores leadership, DEFMS has undergone several major reorganizations to strengthen and streamline the Divisions operations. While the number of projects andinitiatives that he has undertaken over the years is too numerous to detail, the following sampling of his accomplishments demonstrates why MPS facilities are some of the bestschool facilities in the nation:
• development of a Cyclic Maintenance Program that identifies 37 major capital components of district facilities, evaluates theircurrent condition, and establishes a replacement cycle based on useful life, and serves as the basis for the Districts capital budget;
• identification and implementation of over $35 million in energy conservation projects that were paid for by the savings whichthey realized;
