Anyway, according to Moby Games he generally shows up as either a director or level designer in those games he worked on.
No no, of course I've heard of him, we even talked about him a week ago.

And yes, I've read that article before. I don't know if OB1 has though... it's good. As I said, Tom Hall really created Keen. And he wasn't a business guy, OB1. That was Jay Wilbur, I beleive... Tom Hall works on games.
According to several interviews by Carmack, and that id biography, Hall didn't do nearly as much programming as much as the rest of id and was mainly in charge of running the business of id. He may have come up with Keen, but I don't think he directed the game.
And that picture is hilarious. Tom Hall looks like a smarmy Las Vegas magician.
