Thomas Moore, Jr. had 20 years of computer and accredited teaching experience with the Federal Aviation Administration before founding SSC. His no-nonsense style of business and extraordinary computer skills have positioned him as a world wide leader in the embroidery industry. Thomas has been providing straightforward advice to the embroidery industry since 1994, is a popular international speaker and has been the host of numerous on-line forums for Printer's World and The Embroidery Mall. Thomas has contributed to magazines such as Printwear, Embroidery Monogram Business, Stitches, Impressions, Embroidery Business News and The High Volume Embroiderer. He currently holds a position on Impressions Magazine's advisory board as well as a regular writer.

Thomas was an invited participant to the Embroidery Summit Meeting in 1997 and subsequently again at the second Embroidery Summit Meeting in 1999. Thomas is one of the most sought after speakers in the industry often speaking for the Imprinted Sportswear Shows, Decorated Apparel Expo, Promotional Products Association International, and the National Network of Embroidery Professionals shows.

At the METS96 conference in Chicago, Illinois, Strawberry Stitch Co. was awarded first place in the field of digitizing. The award confirmed Strawberry Stitch Co. had achieved the high level of digitizing expertise it had set out to achieve. Thomas was chosen as a "Digitizer of Distinction" by Impressions Magazine in September 1999. This is an honor reserved for those who set the standard for excellence in the field of digitizing.

From 1992 until 1999 Thomas focused on becoming a Master Designer. In 1999, Strawberry Stitch Co. published the book "Digitizing 101" based on the skills and techniques Thomas had obtained over his seven years of concentrated design studies. In 2000, SSC opened its Embroidery Design School in St. Louis, Missouri naming Thomas as the school's director. The school focuses on instructing computer graphics with a decorated apparel focus combined with digitizing theory which centers on the book "Digitizing 101" written by Thomas Moore and published by SSC.

From 2002 through 2006 SSC has exploded under the direction of Thomas Moore as more than a company who designs world class embroidery, but one which embraces the future technology will play in a global market. While continuing his studies of embroidery design and moving all SSC curriculum to an internet based instructional platform, Thomas has evolved as a industry consultant working with such manufacturers as Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Chambers Bedding, Eddie Bauer, LandsEnd, Radio Cap, Vanity Fair, North Face, American Identity and Real Polo.

After a decade of being a Wilcom Authorized Training Center, in 2007 SSC became a Wilcom dealer. Thomas's goal was to create a sales channel capable of providing the industry with the best software advice, training and support. In 2008 SSC became the first and only Wilcom ATC to become a CorelDRAW Training Partner. This is a distinction that only SSC has been able to accomplish.
