New GarageGames Intern

For my introductory blog post, it is only fitting that I introduce someone who is not me. I recently posted this little story as a blog on GGE, but decided to re-post it here for anyone who missed it. For anyone who doesn't know who I am, my name is Mark Hendrickson, and I am working in the marketing department (as an intern for now). I have been at GarageGames for about a month and have loved every minute. If you would like to know about my life story, my interests and hobbies, don't hesitate to ask, but for now this is the story of Matt Ostgard, our newest intern:

GarageGames has recently brought in a new intern, Matt Ostgard, who is going to be working on various art projects. Matt's road to GarageGames was such a good story that we felt many of you GG users would like to read about it. It all started when Matt was awarded the prize for one of GGE's contests, specifically the GDC ticket raffle. Matt had already planned on going to GDC, had the plane ticket already in fact, so winning tickets came as a pleasant surprise. Like most people trying to get into the gaming biz, Matt made the wise decision of taking his portfolio along with him.

While at GDC, Matt decided to stop by the GarageGames booth. Matt had known about GarageGames for a while, being a big fan of Tribes, and a member of GGE during its closed beta. Our very own Tim Aste was rather impressed with the work, and Matt was eventually offered an internship. After weighing his options, and meeting all of the crew here, he decided this was the place to be and is excited to be here. Head to his GGE page to see his portfolio, it's awesome.
