She and her husband—headmaster, consultant, and author Dr. David Diener—live in Hillsdale, Michigan, with their 4 energetic and eclectic children and are committed to furthering the mission and impact of classical Christian education through their lives and work. In her leisure time, Brooke loves to read the classics and discuss them with friends, and to take long hikes in the woods with her family.
