Nuclear Training
Tony Green's career began upon graduation from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering in 1993 after I joined the United States Navy. I enlisted for six years in the Nuclear Power Program which is the Navy’s most comprehensive training program. The first two years were dedicated to training during which I went through the Nuclear Field “A” school and the Nuclear Field Power School in Orlando, Florida and the Nuclear Prototype Training Unit in Charleston, South Carolina. The training was to prepare to operate the ship’s nuclear reactor that provided propulsion and power to the ship.
Once I completed my training I served four years on the U.S.S. Topeka a Fast-Attack nuclear submarine based out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. My duties included maintaining the ship reactor systems and operating the nuclear reactor.
Into the High-Tech workforce
I left the Navy in 2000 and moved to Silicon Valley where many high-tech companies were hiring as the economy was booming. I decided to join Gasonics International as a Technical Support Engineer. Gasonics was Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that built Ashers and Etchers which are used in the manufacture of integrated chips.
In 2001 Gasonics was bought by Novellus Systems. Novellus was also an OEM that produced Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) systems for the Semiconductor industry. My title became Product Support Engineer even though my job duties did not change. During my time at Novellus I assisted with equipment installations in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. 
Professionally Moving Forward.....
Upon leaving Novellus in 2003 I joined Brooks Instrument as the Technical Response Center Manager. I was responsible for managing the service center and providing pre and post sales application support. Brooks Instruments manufacturers Mass Flow Controllers, which are devices that control the flow of gases and liquids that are used in the Semiconductor, Bio-tech, and Chemical industries.
In 2005 I completed a M.B.A. in Technology Management from the University of Phoenix that I started at night when I left Novellus. It is a high-tech business degree and differs from a conventional MBA in that after the core classes of finance, accounting, marketing and economics are completed the coursework moves to such topics such as innovation, project management, e-commerce and strategic planning.
Into the World of Sales/Marketing
In July of 2006, I joined Bentek as an account manager. In my view, account managers are responsible for overcoming any obstacles the may interrupt a positive customer relationship. Bentek is a low-volume/high-mix contract manufacturer. A contract manufacturer builds another companies product for them. My duties are to ensure customer satisfaction for clients in the Semiconductor, Nanotechology, and RFID industries.
Moving towards my professional desire to transition into Technical Sales and Marketing I completed certification as a Professional Certified Marketer (PCM) through the American Marketing Association. in January of 2007.
In 2008 I finally finished my journey to enter technical sales and marketing by accepting a poistion to become a Sales Manager at Nagase America selling and marketing epoxy resins focusing on the Hybrid/Electric Vehicles, Heavy Electric and Wind Power industries.
This year I attended the initial Inbound Marketing University and after passing the exam received the certification of Inbound Certified Marketing Professional. The certification acknowledges the recipient’s proficiency in Inbound Marketing principles and best practices, including blogging, social media, lead conversion, lead nurturing, and closed-loop analysis.
