After receiving a degree in Marketing from the University of Las Vegas and working for four years for Steve Wynn at the Golden Nugget, Diane went looking for adventure. What she found, in her words, was "Chevrolet." She spent the next several years working at Henderson Chevrolet and its sister store, Fairway Chevrolet, gaining knowledge and experience in automotive sales. A couple years later, she was offered the position of Director of Internet Sales and back-up F&I Manager at a Lexus dealership in Las Vegas, a role she accepted and in which she quickly excelled. After serving in that position for three years, Diane was promoted to Director of F&I where she led a team of four F&I managers. In 2009, Diane moved back to Utah to be closer to her family, including six siblings, accepting a position with Strong Automotive Group as F&I Director.

Diane has always been inspired by others who are passionate about what they do and who are driven to succeed. Her current position as an Area Dealer Development / Variable Operations Coach allows her to reciprocate that same inspiration and drive to the clients she serves.

Diane enjoys traveling and has spent time visiting the beaches of the South Pacific, the Caribbean, and the Mexican Riviera. She also enjoys rock and ice climbing, as well as four-wheeling and snowmobiling across the rugged terrains of Utah and Montana.

At home, they raise chickens and enjoy tending their bountiful garden and fruit trees.
