Mr. Moore has been with NHFH since October, 2018 and serves as our President.  He retired from AT&T in December 2010 and became involved with HFH in New Jersey shortly thereafter where he served as Treasurer while chairing both the Finance and Restore Committees.  Mr. Moore believes that providing decent affordable housing helps strengthen communities in many important ways, especially by enabling  homeowners to achieve the strength and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves and their families.

We here at NHFH appreciate him greatly.

Peter

I have lived in Fernandina Beach for 11 years, and joined Habitat in early 2011. I was from New Jersey and went to college in the midwest, where I stayed. I attended medical school in Milwaukee, and had a teaching practice for 35 years, first at St. Louis University, then at a teaching hospital. My wife and I have traveled Europe and went to cooking school in Italy. Working at Habitat is my way of giving back. I’m involved on most parts of construction, but like electrical and finishing kitchens the best. I have been on the board since early 2012.

Fun fact: I collect electric trains and have an operating layout.
