Patrick M. Moore is an internationally recognized, multi-award-winning carpenter and construction manager with a distinguished career leading multiple multimillion-dollar mega projects for a top construction firm. Beyond his primary role as a program manager, he has earned global acclaim for his expertise in stereotomy, particularly the French craft of L'Art du Trait, a UNESCO-listed heritage technique.

In 2014, Moore founded The Professional School of Practical Stereotomy in Ottawa, Canada, a unique institution offering education and training in practical stereotomy, where students have the opportunity to obtain up to a Master’s certificate in Stereotomy. Moore's commitment to advancing the field of carpentry is evident through his role as an instructor in carpentry programs worldwide, where he has significantly elevated the standard of carpentry skills, particularly in North America.

With over a decade of advanced, globally accredited education, he achieved the notable distinction of being the first person from the English-speaking world to be accepted as a "Compagnon Passant Charpentier" in France, a title within the Compagnonnage, a distinguished group of master artisans dating back to the 13th century and recognized by UNESCO. 

Additionally his work has been recognized and displayed in museums across the world for his expertise in craftsmanship. His dedication to the craft, involvement in international communities, and contributions to heritage lead to his recognition as  Alien of Extraordinary Ability (E11) in the United States. 

Moore’s contributions to heritage set him apart as an exceptional heritage professional.
