Des Moines Gaming Industry Examiner | Bio
Find out more about Daniel:

Dan Heck is a 31-year-old inventor of card and board games from Des Moines, Iowa. He plays dozens of games, including the classics, but also several obscure gems. He attends game-evaluation events and hosts his own Game Day each month. He is familiar with where to get the best games in Des Moines, and with local events such as chess clubs. Dan focuses on getting others back in touch with the dying art of person-to-person friendly competition, as opposed to vegging out with video games all day. He is also experienced and educated in writing. He graduated from Iowa State University in 2004, with a degree in technical communications, and is the newsletter editor for Central Iowa Mensa. Dan hopes you enjoy his work and cordially invites you to email him with any questions at danielheck@rocketmail.com.
