Raised in the stillness of rural New England, Moore first encountered Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain during his university years, an encounter that set him on a path of study and silence. For more than two decades he has explored the legacy of Christian monasticism, drawing inspiration not only from Merton but also from the Desert Fathers, Meister Eckhart, and the wider contemplative tradition. He lives with his family near the Green Mountains, where he tends a small garden, practices daily meditation, and continues to write about prayer, simplicity, and the transforming power of silence.
