Mr. Moore, a retired educator, concluded his teaching career in 2016 at Miami-Dade College as a senior associate professor. As a seasoned educator, he taught within the English department to students on campus.

For three decades, Mr. Moore taught three subject areas on campus, including Blues and Jazz History.
Aside from his renowned teaching expertise, Mr. Moore garnered significant success as a musician, songwriter and recording artist, earning fame for his expertise as a talented blues guitarist.

Mr. Moore also toured with John Lee Hooker in the late 1970s, sitting in for Boogieman’s regular guitarist. He continually progressed, earning the nickname of Rob “Wild Boar” Moore.
Shortly after earning fame, Mr. Moore discovered academia and pivoted into higher education and humanities, where he remained for decades. During his tenure teaching in Miami, he managed his own band for over a decade, featuring a local music legend, Clifford Hawkins, during the 1990s. The two played throughout the state and together released the album “Eye of the Storm.” Mr. Moore would also play at local venues, such as Macabi’s Cigar Bar in South Miami.

Before he was even in high school, Mr. Moore became fascinated by blues music, first picking up the guitar at age 12. Ultimately, he earned two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree in English and reading education from Northeastern Illinois University and began a career in teaching. Beyond his formal degrees, Mr. Moore traveled quite a bit, where he has been fortunate to get a fresh perspective on multiple other cultures. These experiences have shaped who he is as a musician and who he was as an educator.
Despite facing various obstacles during his lifetime, including difficulties learning, Mr. Moore persevered and found strength in his talents to continue progressing. He also resolved to prove others wrong, particularly those who challenged his abilities.
Mr. Moore continues to make music, which is a constant passion of his. As he looks forward to the future, he intends to remain active in the music industry. He also wants to continue growing his brand and promoting his music to attract more listeners.
