	Kevin Erickson Publisher / Sales Kevin, an AirForce brat, attended high school and college in Oklahoma before migrating to Tarrant County. He still carries the scars that remind him of his high school football glory days and wishes there had been a magazine like Vype back in those "good ole days". With more than 25 years of experience, Kevin oversees sales and marketing efforts for Vype High School Sports Magazine.
	Hanna Erickson Co-Publisher Hanna is an Army brat who has spent all of her adult life here in the Metroplex. She freely admits the position most often played in her high school days was on the bench at Western Hills High School. She was greatly relieved to find out her children did inherit some athletic talent - they both play soccer. Hanna handles the office administration or as she likes to put it "Girl Friday".
	Shawn Smajstrla Editor Shawn was born and raised in the Fort Worth area. He played football and soccer in high school. He graduated from Louisiana State University in 1996 with a degree in Mass Communications. Shawn has previously worked in the broadcast and print media, including stints with several newspapers and with Major League Baseball.
