The monthly series features inspiring professionals who share their life experiences and encourage teens and young adults to set the bar high in all areas of their lives. All sessions are free and open to the public.
 
Moore is Director of Biocontainment at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, and has served in the United States Army 25 years. He earned his doctorate in Comparative Pathology/Virology from University of California, Davis, and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Auburn University.

The title of Moore's talk is, "Achieving Goals - Everything I learned about achieving success I learned in the weight room and football field."
 
"I plan to share the attributes I believe were instrumental to my accomplishments as a father, husband, football player, veterinary clinician, research scientist, and Army officer," said Moore.
