Ten Ton Hammer would like to welcome NCsoft's new Aion Community Manager. It has been officially announced that Andrew "Tamat" Beegle joins the growing team to take over for Liv (who will be missed!).

Please gather around and welcome our new North American community manager, Andrew "Tamat" Beegle, to the team! He will be adding a lot of valuable knowledge taken from a long history of community experience to our group (that group being Amboss and myself).



Andrew has been building online gaming communities for over seven years. As a former gaming journalist and professional gamer, his fingers rest on the collective pulse of the online gaming community. He was born and raised in Alaska and is the oldest of four gamers. Andrew is also known in the community as Tamat, and some of his favorite games include: Diablo, Chrono Trigger, EverQuest, Command and Conquer: Generals, League of Legends, and Rock Band. His favorite food is sushi—please feel free to bribe him.

If you're thinking that Tamat's name looks familiar, then you might recall that he's worked for various MMOG community sites over the past several years including WarCry and Zam. He brings with him a dedication to gaming and a long resume of experience that will hopefully benefit all of us.
