Garrett Young, General Manager at Emptyvessel, has 25 years experience in game development. His current project Defect, a multiplayer cyberpunk shooter game, just released the game’s trailer, to much excitement.

Despite having lived in many other places, Garrett managed to convince his wife, Teresa, to move back to his hometown. Born and raised in Bend, he graduated from Bend High (go Lava Bears!) and is now raising his two boys here. 

When not working, Garrett and his family like to travel, play sports, ski, and participate in fun runs. Occasionally, he even convinces his boys to help beta test his game!
