Dave Halverson began his editorial career in 1992 when he launched the grass roots GameFan Magazine.  Before that, Dave jump-started the video game import mail order trade with the "Die Hard Game Club" in 1990.  Dave also became the creative force and editor-in-chief of Gamers' Republic until he finally started his own publication in 1999, Play Magazine, the first video game magazine aimed at an older demographic featuring games, anime, and other points of interest for gamers. Dave's driving force is his passion for games and the people who make them.
