Dini married her sweetheart, Jim, in 2000 after the two met on a humorous blind date. Together they have a wonderful blended family that includes five children, nine grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and their adorable Cockapoo, Doogie. In late October 2025, Dini and Jim moved to South Carolina and absolutely love life in the South!

As a young child, Dini attended her neighborhood Good News Club, where she invited Christ into her heart as her Lord and Savior. She was raised in a home where Christ was faithfully modeled each day, inspiring her to follow His leading by attending Azusa Pacific University, where she majored in English and minored in Bible. Her faith and the Biblical principles she has learned have given her the confidence to trust God's perfect will in every circumstance.

Before relocating to South Carolina, Dini had the privilege of serving on staff at Prairie Creek Church in Grimes, Iowa. Her unique career path included opportunities with Gospel Light Publications, as well as roles in finance and insurance. Those experiences laid the foundation for the 26 years she spent in the Chamber of Commerce profession, a career she truly loved.

Dini enjoys decorating, shopping, and baking, but most of all, she loves spending time with and "loving on" her family. Her life verse is Revelation 22:14: "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city."
