He grew up in the Villard area and received his formal education in Breckenridge Public School. Burt farmed with his father until he was 22 years old.

Burt and Colleen moved to Minneapolis where he was a sales representative and territory manager for Barker-Letz Company farm equipment, Cargill Seed Corn Company, Burkhardt-Larson Company and Short-line Farm Equipment products. The family then moved to Redwood Falls where he established and managed Burt Moore Sales, Inc., buying from manufacturers and selling to distributors in the United States and Canada. Following his retirement from full-time work, Burt worked part-time for West Central Chemical Company in Willmar and Tersteegs in Redwood Falls.
He was a member of First United Methodist Church in Redwood Falls where he served as an usher and on the church board. Burt also belonged to the American Legion and the Redwood Falls and Willmar golf clubs. He enjoyed gardening, church activities, golfing, and racquet ball.
