Biography: Dianne was born in Honolulu, but spent most of her life in a tiny marshy town called Suisun City in California. This small town girl arrived in Los Angeles nine years ago and never left. Dianne is a Bruin and John Wooden disciple through and through, with undergraduate and graduate degrees from UCLA, where she also currently works. She grew up watching NBA basketball and professional wrestling, which explains a lot about her personality. Dianne also watches the NFL sometimes, but only to have something to talk to guys about. When she isn’t watching games on NBA League Pass, Dianne plays in coed touch football leagues, leads a bar trivia team, and is an avid happy hour enthusiast.
