Her husband Brian is a former sportscaster who made the transition into Public Relations. He works at Crystal Mountain Resort. They have a young, very energetic daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Diana attended the University of Maryland where she was a Phi Beta Kappa scholar. She graduated with a bachelor&#8217;s degree in American Literature and a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Broadcast Journalism. She has an affinity for maps and collects globes.
