We believe that in the end, we are only as good as the people that make up our teams. Our goal is that every hire creates a long term relationship for us and for our clients.
Richard Moore - President
Richard is a second generation owner and the president of M. M. Moore Construction. A little more than fifteen years ago, Richard came into the business on a "trial basis" to determine if the business (and working with his father!) was a good fit for him. Well, he has never looked back. More than anything, Richard enjoys watching a design become a walkable, breathable outdoor living space.
Richard's professional career began in the corporate world of print graphics with Alphagraphics and in management with Moore North America (now RR Donnelly.) In that line of business, attention to detail is everything and that skill set has served him well at M. M. Moore. Only now theres a third dimension to pay attention to!
Richard was born and raised in the Dallas area and lives in Carrollton with his wife, Beth, and daughter Lily. They are everything to him and he works hard to keep that in balance. When he is not working he enjoys spending time with friends from church and out at his family cabin in the mountains of Colorado.
Marshall Moore - Founder
Marshall founded the firm in 1979 and still holds the position of Chairman of the Board. Marshall's passion for design that pushes the limits of what is possible has earned him the privilege of creating some of the finest gardens in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
When his son entered the business on a "trial basis" some fifteen years ago, Marshall never imagined Richard would fall in love with the business like he did.
When he is not popping in the office to stir things up and discuss a new design idea, you will find him with his wife, Kay, at their cabin in the mountains of Colorado.
Ryan Johnson - Design Lead
Ryan leads the design team here at M. M. Moore and has been with us for almost a decade now. Ryan enjoys creating solutions that make outside spaces more inviting and as livable as the ones inside the home. He believes this is best accomplished by collaborating with the people who will actually use the space.
Before coming to M. M. Moore, Ryan lived in the world of professional golf as a PGA course superintendent. Ryan earned his BS in horticulture with an emphasis on turf grasses from Texas Tech University and his Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Texas at Arlington.
Ryan was born in Louisiana but got here as fast as he could. He lives in McKinney, Texas with his wife Tiffany, and two children. When Ryan isn't designing gardens for us, you will find him bow hunting in West Texas or at a Guns-n-Roses concert, even if the closest show is in Seattle!
Jim Lindaman- Construction Superintendent
Jim is the guy that you will see most often on one of our job sites. As our construction superintendent, Jim is responsible for ensuring that our subcontractors have what they need to complete their work on schedule and according to spec. He is a little cranky at times but thats the way we like him.
Jim has been with M. M. Moore for more than ten years and associated with us for another thirty years as one of our most valuable contractors tying steel in all of our pools. Ryan Johnson says that Jim is the most reliable person he has ever met. We agree.
When Jim is not causing trouble around the office, you can find him with his wife of thirty-six years. Together they have four children and a whole parcel of grandchildren. Jim is an avid sports fan and spent many years officiating high school football. He enjoys casino games and can still advise you on how many points you should give to anyone playing the Cowboys.
Rick Baker - Director of Business Development
Rick leads marketing and sales efforts here at M. M. Moore. Although he is relatively new to the construction business, as a kid he worked (shoveling rock mostly) for his father who owned a landscape firm in El Paso.
Prior to M. M. Moore, Rick spent most of his career with digital and traditional marketing agencies here in Dallas.
Rick lives in Dallas with his wife of almost twenty-five years and his three kids (two left at home and a daughter at Texas A&M. He enjoys spending time with his family, travel to the family cabin in Colorado and volunteering with the BSA Scout Troop his boy attend.
