In 1991, AV industry pioneer Fred Dixon asked Moore to teach part of Dixon’s AV design class for InfoComm and “Mr. Audio” was born - as Moore would become known by AVIXA staff, on his decades-long involvement with the association’s audio curriculum. Gordon Moore joined Lectrosonics in 1988, serving as Vice President of Sales and Service. In 1991 he became an instructor for the ICIA (International Communications Industries Association) Academy, teaching audio systems design, theory and troubleshooting. Moore was an AVIXA Senior Instructor, receiving AVIXA’s Educator of the Year Award in 2000. Moore served on the Professional Education and Training Committee (PETC) and in 2015 he was named Chairman. Moore was named Lectrosonics President in 2015 and, in 2017, members of the Lectrosonics engineering team received an Academy Award for Technical Achievement.
“It is especially meaningful to me to receive the award named after Fred Dixon, who was the first to invite me to teach for the industry,” says Gordon Moore. “I was serving on the PETC committee when the decision was made to create the award and name it after him. Little did I expect to one day be a recipient. It is an honor I cannot repay.”
