Diana and her husband, Mark, moved to Bradenton in 1999 where they raised their two children, Kyle and Devin. Diana enjoys spending time with family, traveling, trail running and yoga.
She loves being outdoors anywhere in Manatee County, but especially at our beautiful beaches and in our public parks and conservation lands such as DeSoto National Park, Emerson Point and Bradenton's Riverwalk Park.
Diana is also an avid supporter of the performing arts and you can spot her performing in local productions at Anna Maria Island Players and Manatee Performing Arts Center.
"I love being in Manatee County where I can live, work and play in the sunshine and surrounded by amazing beauty." - Diana Shoemaker
