Lisa Dergan

Lisa Dergan was born August 10, 1970, in Corpus Christi, Texas. She moved to Hawaii with her family before finally settling down in San Diego.

Raised in a close-knit and supportive family, Lisa always tried to imitate her older sister, until her mother encouraged her to try golf. Lisa took up the sport at the age of 12, and has been an avid golfer ever since.

Keeping her interests broad while in high school, Lisa was an active student as a cheerleader, school paper contributor and homecoming nominee.

Voted "Most Irresistible" and "Class Flirt," Lisa left her pompoms behind and furthered her education at San Diego State University. With a bachelor's degree in the arts and a major in interior design, fate took its course for Lisa in her junior year at college. She was approached by a scout on campus who wanted her to consider a modeling career.

Although she ultimately chose the modeling path, Lisa worked as an interior decorator for the restaurant chain, Chili's (where she had been a waitress), while in University. She ended up decorating the chain's western region restaurants, quite a feat for a mere sophomore student.
