A lifelong resident of Mansfield, Diane felt the community’s need to focus on the positive aspects of our area. In January of 2010, she launched Heart of Ohio Magazine to address that need. This well-loved lifestyle magazine brought interesting people and places of north central Ohio together to celebrate the positive message of who we are and how we live. In 2018, the magazine was sold to a larger publisher.
