Dr. Moore immigrated to the United States in 1979.  He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and communication in 1991 from Austin College.  During graduate school, Dr. Moore was a co-principal investigator of the U.S. Department of Defense Joint program in Communication, housed at the University of Oklahoma.  Dr. Moore received a doctorate in communication (Ph.D.) from the University of Oklahoma in 1997.  This same year, he joined the faculty at CSUF.  He was tenured and promoted to Associate Professor in 2003 and promoted to Professor in 2008. For three years, Dr. Moore served as the Department Chair, ad interim, to the Department of Philosophy.

Dr. Moore’s research centers primarily in applied health communication, with an interest in organizational, management and interpersonal communication.  Of particular focus is the perceived encroachment of outside agencies on provider-patient interaction. Recently, Dr. Moore has addressed the significance of environmental factors, and systemic and institutionalized influences in power differentiated contexts.  He has served as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Applied Communication Research, Western Journal of Communication, Communication Research Reports and Communication Studies, and as Chair of the Health Communication Interest Groups for both the Eastern Communication Association and the Western States Communication Association. His recent publications include multiple articles in Health Communication, and two book chapters in The Handbook of Cancer Care and Communication.  His most recent book, co edited with K. Wright, titled Applied Health Communication is published by Hampton Press.

Dr. Moore is a proud Oklahoma Sooner!
