Director of Marketing

A Director of Marketing is the person with a company responsible for all of the marketing activities for a firm's products.  This includes, print, broadcast, internet and other mediums of advertising, as well as marketing activities such as product placement, strategic partnerships, etc.


Thomas Green, founder of Service Bay 12, has assumed the role of Director of Marketing for the company.

Tom has been around the field of computer game technologies long before commercial computer games were marketed.

Tom's mother worked as the computer part of Army Aviation Combat Developments.  She conducted and participated in wargames with Combined Arms Combat Development Activity in Ft. Leavenworth, KS; Carlilse Barracks in Pennsylvania, and on Computers in the Pentagon, Bethesda Maryland, and st Raleigh-Durham, NC as well as White Sands Missile Range, Ft. Benning GA and the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey, CA.  She was also on the telecommunications committee that met to plan the use of the Department of the Defense Automatic Data Interchange Network (AUTODIN) which led to the Internet that we all use today.

So since High School Tom has played with these early computer combat systems and simulators and learned quite a lot about the field of what we now call computer gaming and video gaming.  Tom later went on to design several computer games with Dave Barron on the TRS-80 Model-3/4, TRS-CoCo, and the Commodore 64/128. Tom has a quite a firm background in the matter of early computer gaming history.

Thomas has worked in various areas of Public relations, marketing, and sales for most of his life.

Some highlights of his career include:
