Mayor Ken Moore has lived a life full of service. He has served in the medical field, the battlefield and on our home turf here in Franklin.

With a degree from Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee college of Medicine and after receiving orthopaedic training at the Campbell clinic in Memphis, Tennessee, Mayor Moore practiced orthopaedic surgery for over 28 years and gained recognition on a state and national level as a leader in his profession serving as president of the Tennessee Orthopaedic Society, The Tennessee Hand Society and The Clinical Orthopaedic Society and representing Tennessee to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Board of Councilors for eight years. 

Mayor Moore continues to be involved on a state and national level in organized medicine with committee work that involves developing practice guidelines for physicians and advocacy efforts on the state level.
