Welcome to Diane Hardgrove...

About Me

From the Desert to the Lone Star State, I’ll always be an Arizona girl at heart, but today I’m proud to call North Texas home. My journey has been a whirlwind of incredible experiences—from the honor of being Mrs. America and Mrs. World to a long-established career in the Non-QM mortgage to serving on the board of the Dallas American Cancer Society.


Through every transition, my focus is on people. Whether I’m representing a brand as a spokeswoman or helping a client navigate a complex financial situation, I believe success is meaningful only when it’s built on authentic connections and grace.

My Family

My Greatest Blessing Life north in Dallas is a beautiful new chapter, and I’m so grateful to share it with my husband, Roy, and our amazing dog, Sadie. After many years in Rochester, NY, we are trading the snow for Texas sunshine—and it is great to be back in the heat!


Family is the center of my world. I truly cannot thank my husband, my Mom and Dad, my brother Vic, sister-in-law Kimmie, nephew Bryson, and niece Brynlee enough. Their love and encouragement make every day a blessing and keep me grounded, no matter where my career or travels take me.

Gratitude for Mrs. America and Mrs. World 

The Mrs. America Legacy A pivotal part of my journey has been my relationship with David and Elaine Marmel. As the founders of Mrs. America, they opened up a new world for me and taught me that the most incredible journeys start with challenging yourself.


Elaine remains the heart and soul of the organization, and I am honored to continue under her mentorship. The values she instilled in me—family, platform, and integrity—are the same principles I bring to my professional life every single day.

What’s in store next…?
